Wreckless Racing

Hey guys,

Im into this build early and im getting the wings buttond up and im getting to the point where im going to mount the engine. I was planning to instal a O.S. BGX-1 on the nose. But i have been doing alot of thinking and i think that it may be to much power for it. I have been seeing people with the H9 Jug with Moki 1.5s doing quite well. i just think that this BGX will be to much power.

I have enough work to do to keep me busy on this airplane before i need to mount the engine, so i can still change my mind.

So i am looking for any advise on which motor i should put on the nose of this big bird for good scale performance, but i would like to have enough power to get me out of trouble if i need it.

any information would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Mine flies very well with a super tiger 2300, using a slimline large volume pitts style muffler. 10% fuel, 17-8 prop.

another approach would be a gas engine- probably a light 40cc with an electronic ignition would be a good choice. I tried a G38 in mine and it flew it, but it flew more like a trainer than a warbird with the G38. then I went to the 2300 and it does very well- took a lot of weight out of the plane. Take a look at brillelli and bcma if you are interested in gasoline.

Well,
I have a Saito 180 in mine and it turned out to be the ideal engine! My shop has Moki"s Super Tigres, OS's and what else- but
the big Saito gives you the most power for its weight.

I would agree with the Saito 180 fourstroke. Very good and reliable engine. It will definatelly fly your plane great and will give you stabiity in landings.
