Default RE: GP Waco?

Engine: .91 cu in (14.9 cc) 2-stroke OR 1.20 cu in (19.7 cc) 4-stroke OR 1.5 - 1.8 cu in (25 - 30 cc) gasoline engine Propeller, building & field equipment

SPECS: Length: 72" (1830mm) Wing Area: 1384 sq in (89.2 sq dm) Weight: 12.75 - 13.75 lb (5.78 - 6.23 kg) Wing Loading: 21 - 21oz/sq ft (64 - 70g/sq dm) Length: 56.5" (1435mm) Center of Gravity (CG):

While I do believe a 20cc will fly this model I don't think a 91 FS will. GP even recommends a 120FS or 25-30 cc. The advertised weight is 12.75 to 13.75 and I have not had an ARF yet that came in at the advertised weight! They all have come in a little heavier. I have an ESM Corsair that the advertised weight is 14.7 and it finished at 19 with no real extra mods. BUT like I always say, this is a hobby that we are suppose to enjoy and try new things! To each there own and we all have different ways of tackling each project! I just like to have extra power at my thumb and not need it than need it at my thumb and not have it.
