[NSRCA-discussion] Swallow/Tsubame

[richard wallace]

Jay -
I did one last year as an entry level pattern plane -- it worked fine for
that. Built out of the box as instructed mostly to see how it was. I'd have
changed some stuff, but it was all acceptable as delivered.
120AX was the right amount of power - got thru Masters sequence on 2/3
throttle w/ a 16x8 prop.
w/ that engine it came it at 8 lbs +/- an ounce.
Should work fine for Sportsman / Intermediate  pattern and as a practice
bird. For less than $150 for the ARF it's tough to beat.

More detail in my review in the Jan or Feb 07 K-Factor

Just one note   - I've heard of several that arrived w/ no instruction
booklet; I have it in electronic version if needed.
