RE: RCV120sp performance capability
1. "Actually this thread was intended to show what is possible for this engine as there are few examples of how much they can haul around."
Yes i missed that i thought you were asking for help
2. "I did nothing extra for cooling and temp was fine.. flame out was due to low rpm throttle setting.. needed 200 rpm more.
I thought take-off attitude was much greater than scale.. if I would have done that AoA in a full scale I would have stalled. There was more than enough power to haul her around with no bad habits."
This is good to know.
3. "That is a scale of an airplane as the full scale.. 17 in prop is scale.. You dont understand these engines at all.. I am turning 4400 to 4600 rpm at the prop which is close to 9000 on the engine.. they are a 2 to 1 ratio. That is why they can turn such big scale props.."
Duh that is what I said.
4. "What would look better? A Corsair with a big 18x12 4 blade prop or a 2 blade APC.. ? When sitting on tarmat they are turning low enough that it looks just like full scale."
where did I say anything about running a APC prop lol Also its called Tarmac
5. "For an airplane not to have an engine head sticking out of the cowl.. that is what I am looking for. Scale power is what a warbird is about.. flying a brick with power doesnt do anything for me as in 3D."
I am not knocking this engine at
6. "These Top Flite kits really should change their specs.. there is NO way to build any of their kits as light as they spec unless you cover in Monokote which is like kissing your sister, there is NO thrill... They cant handle hanger rash at all.. You can even damage while picking them up. The aircraft has virtually no structural integrity at all.. Painting scale is a joke."
so you dont cover in monokote or paint so how do you make your planes scale?
7. "I build very light as an experienced builder. A 70" 10lbs is an ARF... Builders dont do ARFs, again, see kissing sister."
I have seen some kit built warbirds come out under 10lbs with fiberglass and paint.
LOL sounds like you kissed your sister once.
