Rob,
A 447 will eat the 277 alive in all ways including smoothness and
reliability.
Build light, paint light and prop light (I think IVO is the lightest) but I
would stick with the 447.
That's my opinion, check others like Jack Hart, they may differ.
The Fly was built around the 447 and it performs with it.

Guys
My gripe with the 277 installations that I have seen over the year has
to do with the way they seem to eat Carbs.. Must be the vibration.. They
seem to shake the living day lights out of the floats and slider.. Herb

| Subject: | looking for Firefly Jerb |
Jerb are you the one that built Guy's firefly?
I'm looking at it as a possible bird.
If so are there any build photos? etc. Or history in the archives.
If you are the right Jerb.....how were the tubes put together? (oil
powder coat etc?)
I'm a little concerned about corrosion given the location of the plane.
Thanking you in advance for any advice.
Would it be possible for me to call you?
If so where?

Ellery...
Look in the archives for "clipped-wing" information... From what I
remember, those who had done it said "don't do it"...
