I just build my first spad a Debonair for my father-in-law. I am now hooked on plastic. I would like to build another spad that can use a gas engine in the 25 to 30 cc size. Can anybody help?
Thanks.

If it ever quits raining we are going to put the first flight on his Deb. It has a Tower 46 with an 11x5 and a Futaba 6xa

I looked into this, and found it's tricky to get a good flying spad with the smaller gas engines. You really need to go with 31cc minimum, and preferably 36cc and beyond, to be really satisfied. What I would do with a 25cc engine, as was once suggested to me, is build a Deb type plane, just make the fuse a little longer, like 45", swiss cheese it, make the wing 72" all 2mm, enlarge the tailfeathers a bit to match and reenforce if necessary, and make an oversized firewall to accomodate the engine. Try very hard to stay around 10 lbs., and don't expect steller performance. These issues were the reason I went out and bought a 45cc Homelite.

I'm working on one, my 45cc Big Ugly Gasser On Rails.I might get to fly it this weekend, possibly. If all goes well, yeah, another video on the way.
