Ys fz115ws warbird nib

New in box supercharged four stroke powerhouse. The WARBIRD SPECIAL will easily outperform a 120 sized four stroke with the weight of a 110 series. This is a true classic and a favorite with racers....

Tommy_Gun, thanks for sharing. They all have good power but, certainly not pylon racers either. Looks like the Spitfire is a little hard to slow down with that 14x12 prop. I just picked up a P-40...

Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for the info. I have a couple YS 1.40s. Unfortunately, neither is an L. Is your P-51 a rocket with this motor?

I bought a couple 1.10s and the 1.15 thinking that they would be...

Think I'll go with the DLE-35. The 40 twin is cool but maybe I'll save that for another plane on another day. I've had some Ugly Sticks in my day and I'm sure that Superfi's Giant Stick with the...

Superfli - I checked the RCGF site and see a 32cc single and a 30cc twin. Which one were you thinking of? My initial thought is that RCGF doesn't "appear" to have the same level of engineering and...

CK1 - It's good to hear from you, sounds like you are familiar with this bird. I'd be willing to bet that it has twice the wood of a modern kit. I really don't like adding non functional weight for...

Maybe for a lighter Hanger 9 but, 20cc seems small for this Cub. Just found the specs and its actually a PA-18 Super Cub. Dynaflite says it's a 15-17 lbs plane when finished.

I have a couple...

What DLE Gasser for 25% PA-18 Super Cub

Hi Guys,
I just picked up 1/4 scale Cub airframe, not sure of the mfg. It had a brick of a motor mounted on it (US Engines 41cc) that I did not buy. After some searching I like the DLE engines,...

Thanks warhwk. I agree about the 140 for the 69". I'm getting one convertered to ignition and it will likely end up in this plane. If your 65" was nose heavy with a 110 then a 140 will take some...

Petec, thanks for the reply. That is my concern as well but, the 115WS is supposed to be more powerful than most 120s. Do you have experience with the 115WS?

Thanks for the points on the CF. Placing it under the sheeting or silkspan makes good sense.

Excellent post. I was just thinking of tossing all the monokote since it doesn't work as well as it used to and going to fiberglass. This looks like much better alternative.
