Status: offline 		The plans call for a Q42 and up. Now I would not consider the Q42, but maybe a G62? I have flown the Meister FW and ME109 with a Q75 and they flew just fine. It looks like at first glance at the plans that the Corsair mat be a little lighter than the German birds. The cowl is about 10", so twins may be a problem. For the $, if a G62 will do it then thats where I'm going.

Status: offline 		Carey, I have seen several meister corsairs fly down here in texas. They are great fliers and most are powering them with sachs or brison 4.2s. I think you outta use another q70 or something else in that size range. The miester is slightly bigger than a byron corsair and slightly heavier too. You might need that extra displacement. Anyway, take some pics when you start construction, Id like to see the progress.
Regards,
Evan Q.

Status: offline 		Evan, can you tell me how well these engines fit inside the cowl. HP to weight ratio is excellent, price not that far out. Got an email from Dicky B tonight and he said it would weigh about 28 to 32# and a G62 would handle it. That guy makes me everytime I talk to him.

The Q75 is a reed plate engine, that keeps them from belching fuel and oil from the carb, but it is restrictive on the intake side. Here are some tach#s:Zinger22x8-14=6500, Pro Zinger 24x10=6600, Bolly 22x12=6900, Bolly 21x12-7400. Just for comparison on the same day a 4.2 Sachs spun a 22x12 Bolly7500. The Q75 is MORE fuel efficient though and rock solid dependable. They are a good choise for the big warbirds though because they are one of the last big mag engines out there and you need the weight WAY out in front. Evan & I have watched a few at Bomber Field and they fly well with the 75.

Meister Corsairs - 4/1/2002 7:10:48 PM

I have had two Meister Corsairs, one was very simple and light. Bare bones, Mononcoted, no flaps, and a pilot bust. It had a G-62 in it and was lighter than my Quadra 52 powered Byron Corsair. Flew great and would have been fine with the Quadra 52 in it. A Quadra 42 would be pushing the lower end.

My other Meister was a lot heavier. It was scaled out with full cockpit, flaps, and fiberglassed. I had a Quadra 100 in it. It was almost twice the weight of the first one. I actually liked the way it flew better, the wind wouldn't knock it around as much.

A G62 or Quadra 75 will work great in it and will fit inside the cowl just fine.

Good Luck,
-Scott-

Status: offline 		Hi Guys,

I am planning on going with glass, finished with latex paint. Cockpit and pilot, not sure about the flaps. All the other Meisters I have flown did not need them, but they sure looked nice. I am starting to lean towards the Q75 ($600), worked fine with FW. Sachs 4.2 is out at $700, Brison 4.2 is still an option at $505 but I know that carb is going to be hanging out there. Gotta finish that Ziroli XF4U-1 and an ME-110 first before I get to this along with some other projects. I will probably start this in December and have it ready by spring. Watch for pics on the 110 coming in June. :
