Default WHICH NIEUPORT 11 KIT WOULD YOU SUGGEST??????

Hi guys, I got back into the hobby a while ago after being away for quite a few years ( raising the family etc.) now I am able to FINALLY get into it pretty much full time and would like to know what Nieuport 11 kit would be best ( SCALE WISE) to build? Ive got a bunch of the smaller 30" 40" WW1 aeroplane ARFs and really enjoy flying them but Id like something a bit bigger in the 50" 70" range. Any suggestions for a SCALE Nieuport 11 that is easy to transport? Ive got a Zenoa G20 Id like to use,any help would be GREATLY appreciated. SPARKY

Thats the best, but that g20 would be too much for it. The BUSA would be better for the gasser but not as scale.

I don't think a G20 will pull the BUSA Nieuport. I had a G23 in mine and it was not enough; it would fly it, but take offs were overly long and there was no reserve power. It's been swapped for a G26 which is just right.

Just something to consider.

Thanks for the info,I guess Ill have to ponder using the Zenoa I have and go with another kit or get a larger gas burner and go with the BUSA kit which is what Im leaning to. Thanks, Sparky

Hi Sparky, Don't know if you have seen but I have done a build log on the BUSA Nieuport 11. Mine came out under 7Kg with a Zenoah 26 and and cruise around at half throttle most of the time. Do a search on my name and you will find it. Only to happy to answer any questions you might have on the kit.

Regards,
Trying to Fly
