What do you have for power in the Oriental? Muffler looks familiar....
I have had several Oriental ARFs over the past few years, all flew great, and power ranged from a Fox .35S ( too small) to the O.S. .46LA ( too big)' and the best flying couple had various  O.S. 30- 40 size. (O.S. .35FP  just right!)

I am sure you will enjoy both immensely - just make sure the mind doesn't Huff-n-Puff and Blow your plane down!

Nice. I especially love the Orientals. I have one in the box in queue after my current build. I had been planning to get a kit for some time, and ended up with an ARF deal I couldn't refuse. I expect to do some work to tighten up a few ARFish weaknesses and have an OS.40fp to power it. I'm excited about getting it in the air, I hear it's a superior stunter.

I love my Brodak 40 powered kit built ORIENTAL.  One of the best flying planes I've ever had.
