I have just retired my Lazy Bee. Now I'm looking for a new plane to utilize my OS 26 Surpass. What suggestions do you have for a plane that the OS four cycle would be an ideal match. Thanks!

How about one like this? It used 1/4" x 48" dowels for LE. Dowels used for booms and uprights. OS 26fs mounted on maple rails supported by 1/4" dowels. Rec in pilot torso, battery in crate and other details can be gleaned from photo. 11 oz wing loading. Flew like a dream!

Check out the small electric scale ARFs for example: http://www.hobbyzone.com/rc-planes-e...ft-450-arf.htm This one may be very slightly too much for the .26... but it'll fly. And I'd guess very nicely. I've done a few E-to glow conversions without serious modifiction. Just make sure the engine mount/box is well epoxied with some triangle balsa added to the edges and the occasional balso double added to any obvious places. Then just film over the lighting holes to stop fuel entering. Trust me, think smart/light... and these very light weight e-planes work perfectly with small IC engines. Just goes to show how much we've been over building.

ARUP,

Post your plan drawings.

I can get all the stock at my local HDWE store.
