GP Giant Aeromaster

I purchased a Greatplanes Giant Aeromaster at a swap meet about 12 years ago for $100. I documented the build with pictures. The plane weighed about 18 LBS and was designed for 30 to 60 Gas engine. I originally put a US 41 cc Gas engine in it. I was not happy with the way it flew . It was only getting 14 LBS of thrust and Flew scale like.
When the DL 50 came out I thought I would try it. What a difference. It puts out 28 LBS of thrust and weighted almost two pounds less, now it will hover and pull out straight up.
Any way here are the pictures.
