Hi!
Why go electric when you can have a perfect flying (and sounding) semi scale airplane with two OS LA .15 glow engines!?
My Kyosho is powered with those engines and flies just perfect. It has no water ruder ,which is not necessary and takes of by it self using two 9x5 APC props and flies scale like at 1/4 throttle and lands as easy as a high wing trainer.
Fuel used is 5% nitro and a mix of syntetic and Castor oil (15% syntetic and 2-4% Castor oil).Glow plug OS 8.
These engine are so dead reliable that you can cost around very slowly in the air at 1/4 throttle for minutes and as you want power for doing a loop or stall turn (yeah it loops and rolls easily) they react immediately.
