Status: offline 		Hi, I'm just wondering on what power would be suitable for an upcoming scratch project... What I have in mind is a 1/6 scale Sopwith Camel derived from a Gillow's plan..
wingspan 56" / length 36" / wing area 935" / weight between 6 and 8 lbs depending on the amount of detail and engine selection... Cowl diameter is 6", and I would like to use as large a prop as possible.. I was thinking on using an OS FS-70 but am considering the RCV .60 also. If anyone has prior experience with a similar installation, your input is welcome..

I am very pleased you are considering the RCV60SP as I believe it would be perfect for your model.
The 1/6 scale camel of that weight/wing area should certainly be powered effectively by a 52 - 60 4-stroke. We have two engines in this range :- the more conventional 58CD and the streamline 60SP.
I think the 60SP would be great as this not only gives you a great sound for your warplane, but it also can pull much larger props. A general all purpose prop would be a 16x12 which would suit the large diameter cowl of the camel.
Although we don't have specific experience with this engine/plane combination, there are a few interesting models (ie. Sopwith Pup, Legionnaire, Corsair) on our website which shows the real benefits of the larger propellers on models with big cowls. See [url]www.rcvengines.com[/url] and click on gallery for more details.

If you require any more information, don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards
Laurenne

NB. I was in Vancouver 5 weeks ago and loved it ;o) It is such a beautiful and clean city.
