That was my first gas plane. Smaler wings on that. I really like this one to the point of thinking about it even though I have no need for another 50cc bird.

Just took another look at the Aeroworks kit, it is completely different than the one I bought years ago.

Than again they use the same pictures for more than one of the kits, pretty sure the one shown on the pics for the 29% is a bigger one.

I'm going to throw this out. I know it's not a Edge or an Extra...but it's awsome plane no matter what anyone says. Check out the OMP Hybrid. It's on my to do list one of these days. If I wouldn't have just picked up a GeeBee R2 to build maybe I would get to it someday.

God I hope it flies better than it looks, that nose is something to get used to.

Ya....it's not the prettiest....but from some of the vids I've seen...it's one hell of a flier. Have you ever thought about kit bashing it? Put your own design on the nose to cover up some of the boxiness.

Thoughts?
