Give us a link the the plane. (I won't offer more) :) mk

This is a well known sport/scale ARF that is of good quality:

An MDS .78 should pull the plane around with plenty of authority. Other than the usual ARF suggestions (seal the covering edges before flying, reinforce any critical glue joints you can get to with extra glue), you should be able to build this ARF by the book and fly it successfully. Seagull Models ARFs are generally manufactured well and come bundled with good, usable hardware.

I took a look at your profile. You say that you are a first year flyer If you are still in the learning/begining stage, I would reccommend tha you don't try to fly this plane until you get a bunch more experienc flying. This plane is NOT for beginers. As far as the OS 60 engine, i would probably fly the plane, barely. The Edge would be seriously unde powered with it. Go for a 91 2 stroke or a 120 4 stroke, then fly i like you stole it. Pau

to convert cubic inches (CI) to cc use the following:-

(CI^(1/3)* 2.54)^3

0.91CI using above formula gives 15.9cc

I Just Pick Up My Plane From Hobby Town , And My Buddy Is Building, Hope To Get It Done By This Weekend. Wish Me A Luck.

it has been little over two months now and my plane is completed and up in the air, i just want to thanks every one that had gave me advise and help me thru this first timer. i had flown the model and it was so much challenging. everytime i took over the controller, i was just shaken and nervouse lol. but it gets better every day now. i love the size and thrill of it. keep in touch.

That's terrific to hear! Congratulations.
