Top Flight T34 Mentor Engine ?
Have a TF T34 Mentor on order. I want to build scale., Flaps, retracts, possibly sliding canopy, pilot, accurate cock pit. The kit is advertised as .60-.90 2 cycle, .90-1.20 4 cycle. I emailed TF support asking about Gas motor recommendations. They replied saying Gas motor not recommended as the design of the plane did not include G motor vibration concerns. I am estimating plane will weigh at or above manufacturers weight of I think of 9-14 pounds. What would you power a plane like this with. I want to fly it scale but want some emergency reserve power. I know glow is a lighter alternative than gas. Just do not know for sure which way to turn. Thanks for any suggestions. John K.
