It's a great flying little plane. I have a 4250-900 motor in mine swinging a 13x6.5 apc prop on 4S. It will do everything you want...

    When I lived in Europe in the 70s I always used a tray. Not sure why I got away from them but have not used them in many years now. Not sure I want to go back but Strick's look good.

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    I personally knew Hal Krier and hung out a little in his hangar in Rose Hill, KS where he kept the Krier Kraft. It was indeed a beautiful airplane and Hal was a heck of a nice guy. Sadly, he was killed trying to spin certify a two place Spinks aerobatic trainer.

    Need help with Yak build

    I always use two switches one for the battery to the ignition and one for the battery to the receiver. IF you don't turn off the power, the batteries will discharge below usable voltage and be ruined. It is very simple to put a switch between the battery and ign and rcvr.
