as I like the looks of this plane, and NEED TO HAVE IT, it will turn out a bit
heavy for its size. I am sure it will fly extremely well though.
It has slightly less wing area than the Fliton Quiet Storm but will weigh 8-12
oz more. The QS has around 340 in^2 on 21 oz weight. <BR><BR>I agree the
TP 1320 or PQ 1500 pack is probably the way to go with this one.
<BR><BR>I think I am going to place an order. I am still kicking myself
for getting outbid on eBay for a Brian Hebert Patriot airframe the other
day. The auction closed at $138. <BR><BR>Looks
good!<BR><BR>Brett</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>The fuse and stab make sense for this cutie. The wing may not. Buy the kit
and build a larger wing to get the loading to a decent level. That's what I will
likely do anyway since I think the color scheme is pretty sporty. Building a
larger wing that is at least as light as the original shouldn't be that hard.
Then power it as above</DIV>
