Hi,

I am looking into building the SW with a YS110S. What do you guys think? Will the motor be enough if I keep the place lite?

Thanks,
Bill

There's a fella on this thread who is using a 20cc gas engine to power his bird and they put out a bit over 2 hp. If your engine will do at least that, you should be good to go. I wouldn't expect unlimited vertical though. Your choice of prop will be important too.

I've witnessed how this bird flys with a 26cc gas engine and that's why I chose a 26cc for mine. The extra 1/2 hp makes a nice difference.

FYI....HK USA has a 26cc gas engine w/rear mounted carb for $127.

Merry Christmas,
RJ
