Question about a large 60 powered control line airplane

[Jerry Rauch]

I have a Sig Ryan STA kit that can be built as a c/l. I was wondering what it would be like to fly a control line plane that large,(72in. wingspan). I imagine the pull would be substantial, especially when the plane would be most likely underpowered with a 60, as the plans show. I know the older SIG kits were built heavy, and this one is no exception. There are lots of blocks that could be lightened, and some changes can be made to lighten it up, but being reasonable, not a whole lot of weight could be removed.  I have a Saito 91 4 stroke for it as a RC, and would probably use that if I build a control liner. It is a beautiful plane, at this point I'm not sure what to do.

Jerry,
Copy and paste this to the Scale forum below and you will be in the right place.
One of these models has been built in the last 2 years and been flown very successfully in C/L Scale. This isn't and will never be a Stunter, of course, but as a Saito 91 powered three-line or 2.4 throttled Scale model it would be beautiful and great fun.
