Hi,
I have an OS 160 twin searching for a home.
I'll give it a great home, you want my address?

Seriously though how about some sort of Spacewalker or Cub? It would look and sound great in something like that.

I already have a cub with a SAITO 90TS ( Twin ) so I was looking for something different.
I have a Goldberg bucker jungman which I must built sometime but I thing the Gemini will be a little heavy for it.

Funny,, This is the engine I am looking for to put in a Little Toni.
So I say The Great Planes Little Toni with a 12 x12 prop.

Smooth and Fast...

I thought that was an ARF, did they kit that at one time? Me and four other club members are building Royal P-26s from plans, and I've got a OS 160 Gemini for mine.

Hey,,
Yes it is an ARF but it is done pretty well with the fiberglass Fuzz. I sure like the peashooter,,
What radial will you be using?

Thanos,

Hi it will be a bit marginal in the Jungmeister, dont forget the output of the 160FT is less than the 120 surpass.

I have mine in a cmpro AT6 Texan, flys scale-like, not marginal, not overpowered...

Regards

Loukis

Why so many ARF suggestions in the Kit Building Forum ?

If you're looking for something to build, the Sig spacewalker II may be what you're looking for.

Mine is powered by a Mag. 1.60. It's proved to be an excellent combination.

I found a great combo for the OS FT-160. I recently built and am flying a Great Planes UltraSport 1000. The kit is discontinued but they show up every week or so on that auction site that starts with an "e." I used the landing gear from a Great Planes Ultimate Bipe and mounted the gear to the fuselage instead of the kit supplied wire gear that attached to the wings. That was a great choice.

Sig spacewalker II will be my choice. I always wanted to build one so now the time has come.
I will buy the 1/4 scale. Seems to me like a perfect combo.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
Thanos.
