Hi Dale,

  I have finally finished the Long John 120 with the Ryobi up front.  I will be taking him up tomorrow so wish me luck.  I got a nice note from Dan and built the control rods like he did on your Ultra Stick. 

  As you can see,  I have pleanty of room up front for a "Jag engines" sticker. 

  I think this is going to be a good flying combination.  If you want, I can send you specs and more info or pictures for your web site, like you mentioned.

 

  Thanks for your advice with the engine and take care,

God bless America!!!

It looks like I am ok with my Ryobi.  BTW, I was using a MAS 16/6 and reading 8k. 

I added 6 oz of weight to the tail and I have a great flying plane now.  Pleanty of power.  And more to come I hope.  My takeoffs were much shorter than on Saturday, and the torque is very apperent.  When this thing breaks in I am sure it will be even better.  Thanks for the tips and advice from both you and Dan.  This is really a smooth running motor.  I really like the fact that there is little to no goop to wipe down and I don't have to find and use a glow battery.  Talk to you later.

Here are a couple more pics.  I have more if you like.
