Default RE: GP LITTLE TONI ENGINE CHOICE

I know this is an old thread, but I finily got a Little Toni from a RC swap meet new for $100 with servos.

The seller had a .61 2c that he removed from the bird, I do not use nitro on any plane I have. so I was thinking a DLE20 would be great motor for this bird.

But I have 2 DLE 30's laying around doing nothing, so Gess what guys a DLE 30 will just fit!!!!!

It came out to 8.25 pounds ready to fly, I put my 5 cell reciver pack, and 4 cell nicad pack for the ignition, in the tail after the tail former. The only led needed was 5 of the little led peaces in the wing to counter act the motor, Side CG.

I did my first really quick maden flight today durning lunch.

The DLE30 has a built in rev limitier at 10K and the only prop I have laying round was a 16X10 APC (prop speed of 95mph). So this prop at 10K was great! But I got a 15X14 APC comeing in the mail!!

And Im sure It to will spin real close to 10K if so thats a prop speed of 135mph, and with the thrust of this set up it should come real close to that speed.

Ican say she is as fast as my stock GP Rifle, but my goal is to have a gas powered bird thats is close to 150mph.

Also I did kill the motor off durning landing, and it was a great landing plane at this weight.

Sorry it was such a rush I had to shair!
