Default RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine

Well anyway,

I "thought he said" it was a 16 oz. fuel tank. Does your Eagle 2 stay up longer than about 20 minutes? Maybe he said it was a 6 oz. and I just heard wrong. Oh well.

Someone on another section of this forum asked about how much extra weight planes would carry. One answer was from someone who loaded his plane with 42 oz. of fuel, if I remember that right. He built the plane up (with a longer wingspan) for a long distance event his club ran. He flew the plane 100 miles nonstop. A team consisted of 3 people, the pick-up truck driver, and 2 who rode in back of the truck, the pilot/co-pilot part of the team. The co-pilot would spot obstacles up ahead for the pilot. They rode along at 60 mph and the plane kept up.

I sorta followed some of your other posts concerning the Enya. Congratulations on getting it worked out. I was half way thinking I would tell you they named it right, the Enya face. Now you can say that to me because it's working so well for ya. ha

I'll enjoy taking a look at the pic of any modifications you've done or might plan on. Right now I'm kinda an appliance pilot. I don't knnow how to build planes even though I'm a half fast carpenter. Plane building isn't the same thing, I know. I should get another digital camera and learn how to post pics. My old one quit about a year ago.

Thanks for sending the pic when you get the chance,
