3 Friend Build of a OS2U Kingfisher Based Around A OS FR7-420
Hello All,
Three of us will all be contributing to a project based around the OS 7 cylinder Radial. We were curious if anyone out there is currently flying an aircraft with this engine and what scale. I did find a 1/5 Zero that flies well with this engine so we should just be able to scale up our .60 size Charlie Smith plans and even my Brian Taylor .40 size plans to 1/5. Both sets of plans are nice with each set having good features. A combination of both designs should really yield a nice flying plane. My BT OS2U flies extremely well with the float configuration so scaling it up should not have any adverse effects. We are interested in any comments that will help with this build and our decisions.
Thanks in advance, Ted
