Miss Texas
Has anyone built the old Miss Texas from Chuck Cunningham plans?
I have the plans and they seem straight forward enough but I was wondering if anyone had first-hand tips or experience of the plane

I posted this some weeks ago.
I was wondering if anyone has gad first hand experience with this plane. The plans call for a .61 motor but one must keep in mind when this plane was designed.
I was more thinking in terms of a .91 2s or a 120 4s.

Hi,
I've never built one of these but,
If this is the same plane you're talking about.....

I'd use a 120 four stroker with the floats on. Nice to have
some x-tra oomph to get her out of the water. Looks like a
rugged design.

RE: Miss Texas
I built one a long time ago. Powered it with an OS .61 FSR and it was a screamer. It iscertainly worth the build time as it flys very well. It flys very much like a GP Sportster 90/120. A good .91 four stroker would be plenty power for it. You will enjoy it.

RE: Miss Texas
I have just built the Miss Texas. As yet unflown. I modified its construction by re-drawing it with 3DCAD Rhino. Although the shape of my version is the same the build has been modified using laser cut liteply. I have fitted it with an SPE 26cc engine. See attached photos.

I have the plans, too. To me, it looked like a gasser would work well. Please let us know how Miss Texas flies with your 26cc engine.

RE: Miss Texas
I've got to admit, that engine dosen't look out of place (too big) on there. It will most likely be just right. I see this is your second post as a new member here. Welcome aboard.
