RE: Engine for GP 1/3 Pitts Special

I used an FPE 3.2 ci motor and it was wonderful. Tons of power, great power to weight and balancing it posed no significant challenges. I would definitely use a 3.2 ci motor again - FPE, DA, etc.

RE: jr 8611 and carden question?????

The concern is not so much the power, but flutter. The word is that the extra servos on the elevator and ailerons prevents flutter. I have a 40% composite arf 330L with 3 8611's per aileron and two...

RE: 40% Composite ARF 330S Maiden Video

RE: Help Adding Servos to 40% Composite Arf

Hi,
This plane will be used for extensive 3D. Raw power is not an issue particularly with 8611's on 6 volts, rather multiple servos also reduce flutter when using extreme throws. One of those...
