Rustler Oliver Jaguar
In the late 1990's I got a couple Rustler Oliver Jaguar 2.5 cc replicas. I built a full size Playboy Cabin and used the Jaguar to fly in the SAM R/C A Texaco event. Per SAM rules this 800 sq. in. wing area model needed a 10 ounce wing loading so min weight was 55 ounces. It needed 8 or more ounces of lead to get to 55 ounces. The Jaguar handles that size model well. Recently I have been flying a Baby Playboy scaled to 460 sq. in. wing area with the Jaguar. The Baby Playboy started life as an electric powered model in 1996. The Jaguar has a vibration problem with the props I use so a fellow made me a motor mount to reduce vibrations. It works well. It is a rather long stroke motor with a connecting rod about the same length as a PAW .40 and PAW .60 diesel. Jack

What an engine mount ! That should handle
any vibration issues for sure. Very nicely set
up, I especially like the pinch off.

Fiery, Graupner black carbon fiber 11/8 prop. With 8 cc of fuel I get around a 3 1/2 minute motor run. At the end of the motor run the 460 sq. in Baby Playboy is getting hard to see. If I encounter lift during the motor run I have to shut down the motor. Jack
