RE: Electric conversion for the BOT

We have several of these converted to electric in our club. A power 25 with 14x8 folder and a 2100-3300 3 cell battery works well. It will balance with this set up and no additional weight. I did a...

RE: Stihl 4-mix 65cc questions

No spring. Runs great. Flew it for two years. Flew my 1/3 scale cub for an hour on 32 oz. of fuel. Started aero towing so it is sitting on the shelf right now waiting on a new home.

RE: World Models 1/3 Super Cub

RE: newer homelite chain saw conversion

I have a 50cc Stihl that I have flown for several years. It has a aluminum intake much like yours. With just a gasket hot restarts were difficult due to the fuel boiling out of the carb. I added a...

RE: I want a Schneider cup racer 60 size

It flew really well. We had to put some new diagphrams in the carb after setting for all those years then the trusty Zenoah fired right up. I cant wait to see it on floats.

Funny that this thread popped up. I helped Dan get his SS 320 in the air yesterday. Now he is going to put the floats back on.

RE: Sachs 4.2 Prop?

That will be more than enough power. Some 1/3 cubs suggest an 80 twin for balance reasons. Mine flys more than scale with a 65cc four stroke. I would try a 24x10 for a prop on the 4.2

RE: World Models 1/3 Super Cub

A da 50 would fly this plane in a scale fashion. However would be limited if you wanted to put it on floats. And would require alot of nose weight, I would guess 1.5 lbsor so.
