A plane I call "THE PIG" . I bought this baby from a fellow who sold it to me for $100 including retracts. It is powered by a YS .61 Long stroke with a Hatori 650 Pipe and Macs header. To balance this thing, I had to add 18 oz of lead under the engine. Total weight ready to fly is 11.5 lbs It flies like a heavy pig hence the moniker "PIG". One thing I would like to know is the real name and manufacturer of this kit (Plan). I know that the plane is old - almost 20 years. This plane also had a mishap on it's first flight as you can clearly see in photo #1.

Pumping up the "AIRHOG" "GO PAPA!!!!!"
My New Pride and joy!! The Sig Kougar with a Webra Speed .40 with tuned pipe. It climbs like a banshee!!
Recently resurrected after many years without wings. OS .61 FSR for power.
My new MEDAL purchased from my friend Don Filteau. Flies great. I should have bought a 2 meter plane years ago. Powered by a YS 140L.
My oldest son age 10 has, as of this writing, flown in 2 pattern contests. Pictured above is his new Goldberg Matrix Extreme powered by an OS 46 AX. We have experimented with a few props and found that the 11 X 6 APC is the right one for Sportsman and Intermediate Patterns. We have tweaked the radio settings so that the plane flies very smoothly and tracks very well.
