I emailed them about it a little while ago and he said it would be available in a few months. Sounds like a good home for a ZDZ Super 80 or DA 85 to me!

Wow Dan: I wonder if Larry realized you had a backup plane when his generosity was extended at the time of your loss. Wasn't it mentioned to him you were through for the year cause you had no plane to finish out the season with? Just wondering,

My backup was a 33% 260. I put it back together to finish the season but lost it when the throttle servo smoked and drained my batteries too low. The godfrey is in the bones and will be my winter project. The stabs are covered and I am awaiting getting the motor back . What Larry did was awsome!

The godfrey is very similiar to the dalton stretch 300. I think the godfrey is more scale though.

yeah, you'll want 2 on the rudder if using a push/pull configuration or 3 in a pull/pull setup.
