RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
Bill. Don, Tom, Sincraft et. all,
Sincraft, I didn't mean to leave your name out for the past few posts. Sorry...
Well guys, I made the deal for the Eagle 2. I will bring it home with me this weekend.
The radio is a Futaba, Comanche? It does start with the letter C. I lost the e-mail confirming the model. It has 6 channels, atv, proportional control etc. It comes with a charger for the transmitter and receiver batteries.
The other aileron can be made to work by addding only a "y" connector. The radio is programmed to make the ailerons work as flaps. Flaperons?
I'll order a few tools I don't already have around and get a starter and wireless glow plug heater.
Ron said that he will solo me before building season, so wish me luck and soft landings.
Iv'e found with time and exposure that I can easily live with the sound of the 2 strokes as long as the muffler works good. I can esily see the big advantage of the power of the 0.46 FX's 1.5 hp over the (nearly) same size/weight 4 stroke with 0.56 hp.
Ron says, "You'll have to watch out because the power will eat you up."
