Sounds about right for 26-36cc gas power, depending on final weight. I am not a fan of big glow engines because they get so expensive to feed, but some people like them a lot.

Mark

What Mark posted earlier is right on. I'll go check some engines out.

I'm leaning towards the 46 myself. It's only 6 oz. heavier and you have alot of wing area so it shouldn't hurt too much. 10 bucks more over the 36 and you'll be able to use the 46 in more airframes down the road. What do the rest of you guys think?

I agree, no one has ever had too much power. If the weight is no issue the 46 is the better choice.

The wings are about half sheeted and the leading edge on both wings need to be carved down and shaped yet . also the fuse is only about 20% sheeted. No servos , batteries or fueltank..

Status: online 		I use Li-Ions from Fromeco. Need regulators with them. Maybe NiMh would be the most cost effective. I'd run 6 volts though. What's everyone else using on planes the size of beef's?

Status: online 		I took the wings off the bench. Everything went good. Laying out the ailerons. They will be 6.5" at the root, from the trailing edge and 4.5" at the tip, from the trailing edge. The ailerons are 52" long. Still trying to decide whether to use 1 or 2 servos with it being that long. My Ultimates ailerons are 42" long and each have a single JR 8611 and I have not had any problems with flutter. Help me decide- 1 or2 servos?

Status: online 		Layed out the ailerons and servo positions today. I'm going with one servo per aileron. Balsa is on its way. Hopefully everything will be sheeted by the end of the week.
