Can anybody recommend a simple to construct, high-speed sport plane for a Thunder Tiger Pro .36? I've currently have it installed on a Gremlin and the engine is turning about 20k on an 8x7 prop but the Gremlin is prone to surface flutter(I got it at a garage sale).

Any recommendations appreciated!

Kit or ARF? The .36 is the hot rod engine for a .25 model and falls a little short on the .40 size models. You could build a Scat Cat rather light and inexpensively, or see if this ACE is still around.

I look for .25 models on a regular basis, hard to come by.

As a last resort, this is a heavy ARF - but with slim pickings, what can you do but lower your expectations? https://www.ebay.com/itm/29539943779...Bk9SR96Ez8_CYQ

The World Models had an airplane called a Wingman II. It's a baby brother to the Sky Raider Mk II, at about 80% smaller in size. An internet search shows it out of stock, but if you could locate one, it would be a good match. It was primarily an electric airplane, but can be easily converted to glow. The larger Sky Raider Mk II would do about 90 mph on a Thunder Tigre Pro 40. I think the Wingman II on the TT 36 could do over 100 mph.

I looked for a .20 to .25 sized P51 Mustang kit with no luck
I looked for a Diamond Dust Delta kit with no luck

Your engine with a 9 x 7 or 8 x 8 prop should be lots of fun.

It would be really easy to build up a slightly smaller Q500. Maybe 400 square inches. Foam cores, $40 worth of wood and a few micro servos. Make it V tail without rudder and landing gear and no more then 3 lbs. Could be 150mph capable.

I like this suggestion, if you are a builder? You could build a 75% Quickie with a 36" wingspan. My guess would be around 135 mph?

Well, I went to the Swap Meet held by the Kansas City Radio Control club this morning. Came across an older arf from a company called Super Kraft. The model is a small-ish version of an F3D pylon racer. The Pro .36 is a drop-in fit. I think this will get past 130 mph without too much trouble. I will report back when I get to it in the early Spring. It's called the F3D-30.

I found that the .36 responded quite well to raising the exhaust port height .025 and the use of 1/4 wave pipe. I got a noticeable power increase with the one in this heli. Much needed as the heli tipped the scales at 5.5 lbs.

I don't have a quarter wave pipe but I have a header and several tuned pipes to try. I'll see how it balances.

would be perfect for a diamond dust , vintage high speed delta ( diamond profile), I am curently cutting someof them for my club

Lifer

My Feedback: (1)

Sounds intriguing, but if I had a Diamond Dust, I'd put a pipe-equipped Como .40 on it and really go fast. Don't know where to get one though.

Appreciate the reply. Your price is fine but I just bought another plane so my budget won't allow me to get another plane at this time. Thanks for the offer however!

Bridi Q200 Quickie?
Lanier Dominator 500 and build it light?

If you are a builder, Matney models makes a few Q-40 planes that will suit your engine. Just build the wing lighter. It should end up a 4 pound plane and 400 square inches. A throttled engine should let it slow to land. Ken Fluney has done a few with Nelson SS Quickee engines with a carb and they fly really well and are very fast.

I just looked at Matney’s site and remembered the EF1 models he sells. Perfect for your engine. Just beef up the firewall. There were some folks running piped 25 on a Proud Bird ARF a few years ago.

Hope this helps
