First 1/4 scale plane Kangke cap 232 120
Hello. I have a question, I am building my first 1/4 scale plane, a kangke cap 232 120. What I want I plan on using is this
Servos are hitec hs 5625mg
Speed: 0.17 sec/60 degrees at 4.8V
Speed: 0.14 sec/60 degrees at 6.0V
Torque: 109.7 oz/in at 4.8V
Torque: 130.53 oz/in at 6.0V
these will be on all of the control surfaces
Both elevator servos will be as close to the tail as posible.
rudder will be a pull pull system
futaba raido system
power will be from 6v 2000 mah batts with backup.
Ok now for the difficult part. I can't afford the da engines or the like. I would love to have one but funds are not there to get one at this point. I was thinking about the os 1.60fx or the bgx 3000 Glow. Using these would keep me from cutting the cowl too much so when the funds become available, I would be able to put a DA or the like in there with very little modification. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

go gas. the money you save with glow engine at first will be spent on fuel later. the brison 2.4 is a good match

I own both glow & gas engines ( including an OS 160 & a Brison 2.4 ) and I got to tell you you'll be much happier with the OS in a plane of this size. A lot less vibration and at least 1 lb. less weight, yes it will cost you more to operate but I bet you'll get tired of the plane before the cost of the glow fuel will be more than the extra of the engine.
I have a 26cc, 2 - 40cc, a 50cc gasser and a bunch of glow engines from .61 to 2.70 and I'm convinced that the extra weight and fuel savings of a gasser don't make sense until you hit the 50cc mark, IMHO.
