 Looks great! That's a LOT of rudder offset.

Is that the Cox .15?

[Tony Drago]

Is that a G-Mark in the nose?

Isn't that OS .060 engine pretty rare? The last one I saw was in the army PX in Pleiku, Vietnam 1967.

Hi Bob, really sharp little bird! I take it that this will be your entry in 1/2A Stunt at the 2021 Brodak FlyIn? Yesterday I flew my almost 1/2 size Barnstormer with an OS LA.15 engine! This thing did the entire OTS Pattern with ease on 56".6" .015 lines with ease! I tried the PA Pattern but my tank is for now too small! Amazing how much fun one can have with smaller gear! My plane was designed/ scaled down by an old friend from near Albion, PA. that's near Erie, PA. He declined in balance and sold out all of his stuff. Dalton Hammet bought it from him and I bought it from Dalton at the FlyIn two years ago. The Corona virus step down enabled me to find the time to fix it up and get it ready to fly! Some aspects of this shut down have really been fun!

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement, Guys.
If all goes well, I may get to try it this weekend.
Yes, Dennis - the OS .060 is very rare. I've only seen two!
I was really surprised at how powerfully it ran on the test stand
I don't think it was ever imported.

More to come.
