Default RE: Gas profile

Primo 65? When did that come and go unobtanium? The largest Primo I see on Paul's site is a Primo60, which has a 55" wingspan. Even at that, your Primo wing has close to double the area of karolh's Katana wings. Even at 7 lbs, that much area will certainly float. I've put a Saito 20cc 4-stroke gasser on a Mojo60 before... it's got the big wing like the Primo, and could handle the extra weight of that motor. I don't think an 8 lb+ bird with nearly double the wing loading would like that heavy of an engine, but maybe that's just my flying style too...

I think when I'm ready to play with 20cc gas again, it will be on an EE60, Ron Williams Sbach65, Mojo65, or the big Slide coming out.

If your worried about being too heavy this is my profile, a Swanyhouse primo 65''ws and it weighs 7lbs on the money and is a floater. So I think you will be ok at 8lbs.
