[NSRCA-discussion] What Weight Airplane?

[wgalligan]

Has anyone tried the Tribute FX by E-Flight?   Designed by George Hicks it 
looks like it could be a good pattern type flyer as well as a 3D'er.   I 
just picked one up today and am going to run an AXI 2612/26 on it with a 
10x4.75 s-prop, 1320 11.1v pack.   If anyone has flown one let me know about 
it... if not I will let you guys know about mine when its flying.

Smooth FLying...
Wayne Galligan
