I have a few of these engines and would like to put them in something other than the Combat battle Axes I've been playing around with.... 2 - 2.5 lbs would be about right.. I see a twin for two OS.25's but not much out there for .15's .
Any Arfs, Kits or even plans ????
Thanks
IMO one of the most overlooked MODELER's projects is with Easy Built Models.
www.EASYBUILTMODELS.com
They have a real line of model kits of all sizes. Another item that I will do soon looks to be a super little .12-.20 RC machine or even CL. It is kitted as an electric
kit, howeve I will stick a .12 or.15 as I have several of several brands and it will work for me. I have one just waiting to get done. Beautiful laser cut kit and that is Retro Fit Models in Keege Harbor, MI.

Back to Easy Built. These are stick and tissue and in a number of sizes. Several War Birds to 50" span. A MODELER can really enjoy these if he/she doesn't have a number of projects keeping him/her too busy. HA! Of course one has to use the basic structure and overdo it in many areas, but they have so many kits, it's hard to make a choice.
I will try to show this one that I flew in warbird races. I was a tad shy in reinforcement and restructure but it lasted a long time. It finally met a demise because I went out to fly and forgot the 3.5 oz. of lead after I had done a clean-up on the engine and engine compartment, Windy and very tail heavy. OOPS! Almost got it saved but not "almost" enough. 50 ins. w-s, fixed gear, a .28 glow and it ran well with .40-46 powered machines.
Just all depends on what you want to do and how much you enjoy building a model.
I do so love silk, silkspan, and dope.
BTW the Aircobra and the P-51 ( forget the 1:1 scale racer's name) both met their end in trying to round a pylon and sharing the same airspace with competition.
