Hi Wildvortex Just an opinion here and that sure seems like a bad deal and plan. Personally the OS 160 sure seems to be a much more valuable as well as useful engine possibly down the line.


Will the 10cc work well in the corsair? I suspect it certainly will fly it But! How much fun will it be and how much more skill will it require of you, which is always the case with an underpowered airplane Remember if the airplane is decked out with retracts and flaps and all the associated servos and stuff, to that you will now have to add an ignition module and more importantly an extra motor battery pack as well as the associated extra switch.

Most of the successful conversions of warbirds normally called forty or sixty size to gas I have seen and participated in, start with 15cc engines and my favorite the OS15GT.

Only just my opinion

John
