I really want to purchase a hanger 9 extra 260 but need suggestions on an engine. Vertical pull-out of a hover is a MUST!! Will a BME 50cc be sufficient?

thanks,

Brian

Hi, I run a first place 52cc gas engine in mine and it hovers at half throttle. Plenty left to pull out.

I think the evo 58 is a bit too much engine/ weight for the 260 might be fun to try though.

Any decent 40 will do it - my 26 on a pipe will do it -not fast but a nice positive vertical
I can't see why anyone goes over 13 lbs on this model mine is 11.5lbs

I Have One With A DA 50 It Will Hover At Less 1/4 Throttle And Pull Out Like A Rocket STEVE

My first place engine is some what heavy and mine weighs 15 pounds. It's heavy but still hovers with plenty of power to spare. I bought it used this way. I would have built it lighter myself.

Mr. Hanson,

I have been thinking about this plane for awhile, and I agree totally on the weight that it should be built at. I think it is funny how hard we had to work to get our 72" planes to come out at 12lbs. Now we can build a bigger, lighter plane cheaper and easier. You got to love good wood selections and building practices.

What about an EVO 45?

Evolution not EVO
Someone has got to rename their engine---

Moki 2.10, around $200 less than DA, pulls hard, hover at just a shade over 1/2. Runs on 0% nitro, starts 1 flip, swings 20x10 at 7400. plane weighs 13.5lbs.

Might try the DP blue head 2.10 same motor, runs on 15%

NEVER try and run the DP Blue head at 15% after months of success with 5% in my DP blue head 210 I re-tuned for 15% and the engine locked-up after 4 minutes of flight.

That sucks, I thought they were supposed to work with 15%. I use home brew 0% in my Moki

They will work with more nitro- You may have to raise head a couple of gaskets worth- I like the way they run on more nitro but as with any glo engine --ya gotta match compression with prop load . The Moki or any glow engine responds same way - Rossi- OS/ ST etc.. been ther -- frankly any decent 40ish gasser is a good choice
you can do it at 13 lbs or less.
even a good 35 gasser is fine. cept most are heavy an old BME44 or that type or a Brison etc- something 2.8 lbs
In new engines that would be the ZDZ40 or a Evolution 45 GX or MVVS same engine --

i am just concerned about being able to pull out of a hover with plenty of power. If the evolution 45 will do it i'll go with that.

The direct reports I have on that combo -in a stock model -in cowl muffler -are extreeemly positive.
