I'm getting bored with my electric Ugly Stick. It has a 112.5 sq in of wing area and weighs 8.1oz ready to fly.

I was thinking about putting in a PeeWee .020 with a .6oz tank, which would give more power. I couldn't use my lightest RX pack because it would be tail heavy, but even with the heavier pack it would be 6.3oz. Then I thought a TeeDee .020 would give lots more power and still weigh 6.3oz. Then I realized I could shoehorn in a Norvel .061 with a 1oz tank. This would allow me to use my lightest RX pack bringing the weight to 7.8oz. Ahh! I can't decide![X(]

My Feedback: (20)

Use the Norvel, and save the TeeDee for a prettier scale plane... It'll be harder to clean up that way...

As a BTW, you could make a second wing for your Stick, invert the fuselage, and make yourself a nice little bipe. At 224 sq in, it willl zip right around with the Norvel. (I'm SURE you had already thought of all that, though.)

Thanks for the input Phil. You just hit on why I haven't used a TeeDee in a cowl; they can be a tad messy.

Yes, I did already think of that.
