Ditto what TY said.

I've one, built from the kit, powered with a Stalker .40 RE, and it's easily one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of flying.

Not sure what motor at this time, have a new Brodak 40 still in box, may spring for a PA from randy

Hi Steve,
Glad to see you have that one going.  The Vector is a really good airplane!  If you can, get the PA or an Aero Tiger 36.  The Aero Tiger will definitely do a great job for a few less dollars, and you get Randy's help in the bargain.  An Aero Tiger 36 is definitely a stronger engine than the Brodak 40.  I would use the Brodak 40 (a good stunt engine) in a good classic plane like a Nobler.

Hi Steve,

Check with Randy on the PA 40UL, also.  I am not sure how much more the 40 ultra lite is compared to the AT 36......... if you have the money............... ;D

Bill
When making the rod to bellcrank, do you recommend using a ball link set-up?  Or just go with z bend on rod end?

HI Steve,

Personally, I have been using a ball link on both ends of the flap and the elevator pushrods.
