My Granddaughter and I were out this afternoon flying my Mauler. It is powered with the old dependable Fox 35 stunt, tongue muffler, MAS 10 X 6 wood and Sig 10% fuel. Engine is well broken in. The plane is covered entirely with what people on thie forum call moneykote. I have kept tabs and the monokote was less money than dope finish on similar size plane. Used cloth hinges and other than that built according to the book. As far as stunting mine is very surprising to me, I guess I push it a little harder than one I spent a month on finishing.

PS:60 foot X .015 cable center of plane to center of handle.
