Yeah Wayne, that is a Sakitumi. I traded a EVO.36 for the airplane and engine, which is an abused LA.40. I have been trying to get it sorted out for a few months but have had engine run issues. Finally traced it down to the tank. The LA.40 will fly it, but it's a large model and will be best with a larger engine. Not sure if it will be a LA.46, ST.46, or ST.51. To be determined over the next few weeks. LA.46 would be easiest. Flights today were very promising. I like the shape of the design, and it flew well in the wind and turbs we had at Buder today. More horsepower will help and further trimming is expected. I might see if Walter still has a kit available, and build it to look like Leo Loudenslager's last airplane he was building when he passed away, The Shark. You may have seen it hanging in the museum at Oshkosh. After he passes away, family and friends completed the airplane but it has never been flown. Has lots of unique features and radical controls on it. Getting basic flight trimming anc check out the engine came first though to see if I liked this airplane, and after 4 good flights, I do!
Type at you later,
