Hi there,
Thought I would post something to see if anyone is still watching the thread. I saw a report of a new Bobcat built by Tim Cardin. Here is a link to the video of the maiden flight.

What surprises me is that it is powered by 2 Saito 120-R3 radials . These glow engines only put out 1.4bhp each (less that a standard .91 four stroke engine) but the models seems to fly pretty well on that amount of power. Sounds great too. I was going to put 2 saito 170 radials in my model, but this rather changes my thinking. Any of you who have built and flown models got any thoughts about this?
