Well, it's not going to be pink, we have a serious Warbird here.. Roll Eyes
Red is too close to pink, so Black it is... Wink

I'm not going to use the plastic Red one supplied, it'll fly off in a minute.. Cool

Nice plane Jack!!! You'll probably want to change your engine mount. I found that the ones that come with Seagull arfs flex too much which can cause problems later on.

The spinner looks about 1/2" too small Jack. What size is it, and what's the specs on the plane overall?

On Jon's and I, we are starting off with a18x10 or even a 19x12 APC e-prop!!! Smiley.

It's a 3" I believe Dan, I Might be wrong, with a 13*8 prop, But I only have the ASP.91 in her.
What would you recommend?

I do have a 3 blade 13*8 but have to wait to get a prop spinner for that...

Hey, Al
I've decided not to use this retract set, the nose wheel is to short, and cant be extended... Cry
I'm going to order a set of these, or the main units only, then put a standard set of legs and wheels on. Shocked
