I had to unbox one of these that I had in my inventory of 30 unbuilt NIB ARF's, because I needed the box for another plane I sold to ship it in, (H9 PT-19). So now the Extra is strung out with all of it's parts on my pool table. Maybe I should build it. Here is what I have for engine choices;
MDS 1.48 2-Stroke (OS 1.60 equivalent)
MDS 2.18 2-Stroke (Moki 2.10 Eq.)
Super Tigre 2300
Saito 1.80 mounted on another bird.
Hobby King 26cc Gasser NIB
Hobby King 45cc Gasser NIB
Hobby King 52cc Gasser
I fly at 4,000 ft. altitude which is a 12% power hit right off of the bat, so what do you guys think?
I believe the 45 & 52CC gassers would be too much for this plane. The 26cc is about similar in power to a 1.20Glow 4 stroke and not enough power.
Minimum power should be a 1.60 2 stroke glow of more up into the 30cc gas range or a bit higher.
I am not familiar with the output on the MDS 2.18 2-stroke but it soundsl like it ought to be ideal.
