O.S.70 Surpass whos got what with what?
I started the thread on the 55AX and many thanks to all that replied!
I now need to find a home for an OS 70 Surpass 4 stroke.
I was thinking a Funtana 50?
Flying style: Aerobatics, 3D!

Got a 70 Ultimate(blue rocker cover) that I was going to drop into a Kyosho Hein but the callout on prop size is 13x6 or 7 only. The Hein is a 46 2 stroke plane at 55'.

I have one in a Pulse XT 40 with a 14-7 APC prop on it........Everyone's impressed with the performance of the plane, and it has virtually unlimited vertical.....Love it!

The GP UCD .46 flies very well with the .91 Surpass, I don't know about the .70 though.

Did you have to add weight to the tail, how was the CG?

Yeah I hear the UCD is good with an OS70 but some have said on this and other forum sites its underpowered for that plane.
I guess some You Tube video will tell the truth )

Seems like its more suited to scale planes rather than aerobats and 3D planes.
I gather its because of the weight?
I had my 70 in an Excelleron 50 and it flew well (still does but even better with a OS Alpha 81) but did lack a bit of punch.

Great Planes P51 D with a 14 - 7 is a stellar combination!
Lots of power and totally reliable - not going to do any 3d flying - but P51s never did.

I've got one in a Contender 60 with a 13 X 8 APC. Won't hover, you have to fly the wings and not the prop, but is a ripper on a straight-away. Great engine (and great sport model). Had one in a GP Big Stik that I lost in a mid-air and it was just a wingless red comet of a lawn dart when it hit a rock. I gathered up the PIECES of the FS-70 and sent them to Champaign, IL and, by gum, they sold me a new one at their cost ($134). I was tickled at that.

I've got one in a Hangar 9 Twist 40 , spinning a 13x4W APC . Great combination for this airframe . Hovers no problem , and will pull to the moon .

How did the CG work out? Any lead needed in the tail?
Thanks

Ditto on the Twist.
Mine balanced just right with no lead. It is however a snug fit between the supplied motor mounts, which requires a little modifying with a Dremal tool.
