GP P-51 Sport Scale, What to do with it?
I bought this thinking I could drop a 91 on it and fly it, but after balancing it and a short taxi test, along with the tiny tank, discovered the 91 is WAY too much engine. Even if it got off the ground with out going tail over nose first, the flight times would be under 5 minutes.
So off the 91 came and now I have this airframe sitting around. What would make a decent engine for it? I was thinking I could drop my Hacker in it, but it requires a 6S pack, and the batteries would not fit in this plane. I don't think I want to drop another $400 on a FG Saito, though the FG-11 or 14 would probably be the right size. Smallest unused engine I have is an OS 70 FS. While it fits, I still think its too much for it.
