Rifle Engine Choices
Well, since it's slow and I'm bored at work, I might as well throw this out here.
I am about to order a Rifle short kit from Angel. I see a lot of people are putting Jett 50's and the like in them. Very nice. Also way faster than I care to spend... I am thinking that a TT36 Pro with a full tuned pipe would make a decent choice for me. With the pipe it will rip the small props pretty well and it is very light, so I would end up with a nice light Rifle that hauls and lands easy. I have watched Angel's Rifle video and it looked like the landing was not bad at all, much floatier than I expected with such a small plane and big engine combo. It should be even better with the lighter engine. I have the TT36 in hand now, which is why I am thinking of it.
What do you speed freaks think of this plan?
Edit: The other choice would be a Jett Stream or UT muffler instead of the pipe. Either way would work good for me, I think.
Thanks,
Mark
