The Super Star is perfect for leisure aerobatics, much like the real thing, and I think the engine sounds just awfully cool.
For sure it is to heavy for 3D, and control surfaces arenīt large enough. Engine thrust is about equal to weight, I am running a Menz 20x9 wooden prop.
My 77" Votec 322 with about 15lbs flying weight is powered by a FT-300, it pulls with much more authority. This engine has more power, plane is much lighter, and control surfaces are much larger - this would do 3D well, but the pilot (me
) is not good enough for real 3D tricks.
The FF320 is a sweet engine, totally reliable, and surprisingly straighforward to operate. It doesnīt always need to be a J3 or a Super Cub for this engine.
Enjoy yours!
