It looks fantastic! If you can find one, we usually ran 11 – 7 to 11 – 7 ½ props on the old 60s.

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

Retracts in pattern aircraft was an interesting innovation. A little history of retracts in pattern aircraft as I remember it.

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

I’m not sure what it is called. You just need some contact glue that will glue down smooth and will not have a problem with heat.

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

Hank,

There must be a metric conversion problem with your weights! A Kwik Fli III cannot weigh 13 lbs or 10 lbs. I have a Kwik Fli III with a glass fuselage, foam wing and retracts and it is...

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

At 5.5 lbs and a piped YS 45 you should be good to go for ballistic vertical. Be careful of your CG with the light engine.

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

I think it has a fabulous patina and I would not repaint it. Just make sure all the wood is sealed to keep the fuel and oil out. If the wing bell cranks were done correctly they should work fine...

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

If you fly off tarmac the 13” prop might work on the Kwik Fli but it will be very close. Not sure how it would work on grass though. I always fly off tarmac so prop clearance usually is not a...

RE: Kwik Fli III with .91?

I’m a power junky too! My Kwik Fli III taper wing is pretty fast with the gear retracted and it is only powered with an Irvine 61 ABC. With a pipe it would be unlimited vertical. The taper wing...
