Swallow

[Wade Akle]

Eric,
I have a Swallow with Tower's .75 engine. Talk about inexpensive, $330 for
them, but it proved to be a great choice and does Advanced well, for me. The
engine purrs below 1700 and roars up to 10000 rpm, never missed. A relief
from the YS and Webra's. Expensive pattern is by choice not requirement,
unless you compete at the national level. I have built and flown many full
pattern ships, that I enjoyed, but now I mix in easy, inexpensive Fun.
I am very interested in a comparison of the Swallow with the Quest.
Wade

Good luck tomorrow Bill.

I think the Swallow will like the power of the 1.30.

I did my QUEST test flights today that I will post in a separate note.

Regards,

Eric.

Just got a look at Eric's review of the Swallow.  Could hardly have come
at a better time.  I'm testing mine tomorrow, weather permitting.
Powered by a Y.S. 1.20, (the old one) it weighs just under 8-1/4 lbs.
After reading what he says, I believe I'll reduce my control throw on
the elevators, at least, and maybe ailerons also.
I'll post to the list--boy, do I absolutely hate first flights!
