Hi Dave
You have made a good choice mate and as you know the Prangster is a great little trainer and takes many a knock.The 46 engine is spot on for this little plane and you will be surprised how well they perform in any weather condition, i flew mine one sunday in 45mph winds and she just laughed at me
The only weakness was the cowl which the engine mount bolts to but they now do a tougher cowl so yours may come with that Dave but to buy only a fiver they also do stronger braced wire legs but i never altered mine and found them okay
The flexi props are only a couple of quid and last forever so no more worry about coming in heavy and snapping the prop These are not the prettiest of trainers but i would high;y rate them to practice on as they certainly do become a good little friend to have in your Hangar 10/10
I have a 46 in mine mate so perhaps we could have a Prangster team in the club also
I look forward to seeing you down the field soon with that great little plane

I've been looking at them on you tube and am keen to have a go at some aerobatic stuff I wouldn't consider with a built up model. and yeah a bit of formation limbo and balloon popping sounds what I'm looking for...fun flying
