I am still shopping for my second pattern plane to begin attending some contests next season. Their is a Black Magic V2.2 for sale just a couple of hours from me and I am wondering if the Syssa will haul it around. And, could it be installed in it without a major rekit?
It depends on the weight.
If the plane is 10 1/2 lbs or less, you will be in good shape for any maneuver. If it's a pachyderm, 11-13 lbs, then you will be okay for Sprtsman and Intermediate and possibly Advanced if well skilled.
If I recall Archie's BM, I think you have good room up front. The engine is about the size of an OS 160 except it needs to have about 1 1/2" behind the exhaust flange to acommodate the carb. I'm sure we have actual dimensions needed early in the thread.
