The engine is tops...only Drama I've had is with the wood prop chewing out on the prop hub and slipping , now running a 11.5 X 6 nylon Prop which provides heaps of thrust and sounds great.
Really clean running engine even running rich.
Have you seen my first flights video plenty of power for this Model.
How much nitro did you use during break-in?
pumatraca 2 years ago
10 % nitro 16 % syn oil 4% castor for the run in.
I now run 20 % nitro 18% oil & there is a noticable performance increase.
Also using a 13 X 7 APC Prop.

Who makes the kit for that plane?
Guinnie 3 years ago
It's a modeltec SE5 kit 54" wingspan from memory ...and scaled up a little bit.
Was a great flyer to but lost it a week ago due to the elevator control rod snapping in flight.

It sure sounds sweet.
I've just got a .56 Alpha, I haven't run it yet. The model is only half finished. How did you get on with it?
