Just a quick question,....<BR>
<BR>
Noticed an ad for the Fascination by Gator R/C and realized that this plane <BR>
might be within my budget!! Anyone have experience with the construction and <BR>
performance of this plane that they would like to share?? Specifically,... <BR>
what engine is required to power it?? Would a Y.S. 120 FZ be adequate or <BR>
would a used 140FZ be necessary??<BR>
<BR>
As far as the construction is concerned,... do the plans show built up wing <BR>
construction as is typical with Gator's Typhoons or is it foam wing only?? <BR>
Is this a Bryan Hebert design or someone else's??<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>

One of my flying partners still is flying a Fascination. His comments are that the plane has poor snapping tendencies (he flies Masters), due mostly to very small aileron area and rather large stab, and does not track the verticals straight up and down. <BR>
<BR>
But the plane will groove with the best of em, probably because of the large stab, and is a fine Sportsman and Intermediate plane. His plane has a 1080 sq inch wing and seems to need every bit of his 140RX at nearly 11 pounds<BR>
