I just acquired a FROG 2.49 redhead "modified" in almost new condition and I am wondering if this engine will pull a full size Flitestreak on a 8x6 prop on 60 ft lines.
Would it be better suited for the smaller Jr Flitestreak on 45 ft lines?
You might be more satisfied with a profile "Peacemaker". It also was designed by George Aldrich but is sized between the full-size and the Jr. and was designed for a .15 (2.5) diesel. The original was powered by an OT diesel.
You could run it on a full-size Flite Streak but you would probably want to use 52'x.012 lines. IMO it is too heavy and powerful for a FS Jr.
Good luck with your FROG.
