Hey 3D-boogey, welcome aboard!

Can anyone here recomend a good prop for breaking in the saito125? I was thinking of an APC 16*6 or a 16*4W, cant decide which would be better.

Sorry to here about the Eurosport ,not a good feeling when they go in.
I'v got a 50% Bill Hempel Edge 540 comming, got the wings today so the rest of it should be here soon. I am going to put an EVO300 4 cylinder in it, should be fun to fly.
A picture of the motor and model.
See ya

Hey John
I have flown an orgiinal Spectre before but the wing was blowing about 25miles /hr
so it landed ok ........Wow thats 10 years ago ...
I know that evo 300 thats the motor they use in the 52% Edge's cool .......Sorry mines a bit smaller but I have a 43% Edge 540.

Need to see if a place like Beafort west could work for a fun fly. pretty central, well a bit closer to cpt than jnb, and dont think the municipal airport gets too busy.
Would be killer at a place like verneek pan. FAR way from anything.
Yeah B W is a cool venue there's an airport just a few km from the Town I flew there onec it really nice and new..
