Default RE: Power Plant for Falcon 120

Thanks Wildnloose,
Good info. I've spent the day getting everything in order to purchase (retracts, servos, motor, hardware). Most of the time was spent on the power plant. I ran simulations on all kinds of electric set-ups, and have been reading, reading, reading. I'm building the Falcon 120 with my other project in mind (Ziroli F9F Panther) and plan to strip the Falcon at some point. That said: I've pretty much decided on an OS91 VR DF set-up with a Ramtec fan unit. I looked at a lot of vids and it looks like the best power plant for the Falcon is between a DF unit and a turbine, with the turbine winning hands down. But like a lot of us, I can't really swing the turbine at the moment so I'll probably go with the DF set up just to get it in the air.
