Guillow's Fokker Dr1 engine size?
Hello I have a Dr1 triplane 20"ws kit coming soon in the mail.I know Guillow's recomends a .020 for free flight but I plan to build in two channels, ailerons and elevator w/micro radio equipment.So the model would have a bit more to haul around.Besides that I have a few nice running teedee .o49's.I would just like to know if any one has experience w/this or even just modeling expertise to help me choose the right size motor?

Paul I am building that kit w/ four channels and am planning to use a G-Mark .030 RC w/ mine and feel that should be more than enough power. I do know that a TD .049 will be way over powered. I am flying a Herr rubber kit w/ 2- channels about the DR-1 size and weight and it flys great w/ a Pee Wee .020 and using micro gear - so I think it could fly that plane if set up well and kept light.
