RE: KMP Texan

Hi Paul
I have had correspondence with Andrew from KMP.
He said that the test was with a 42cc but thought was overpowered and that a 32cc would be fine. Also that could get a more scale size prop with the 32.

I was a bit concerned about the AUW as the Aerobats same size/weight have 50cc and I would imagine the Texan will come out with a lot more drag.
I know you don't prop hang etc with a Texan but still wondering if a DL30 would pull her around the air ok.

I got a PDF of the Manual but I was sure when I looked at the Texan that it had a round tube for the engine mount but the manual shows a standard ply box construction?

I thought a scale exhaust would look good if there was enough room in th cowl to have the Pitts muffler exits exended to the stock out let position.

Would be interested in any of your thoughts about the Texan. Looks really good. Love to see some pics of her as well.

I also found some pics of the origonal.
