RE: Engines and Pictures
Yup I love mine too, It is a great lazy sunday flyer. Probably my most relaxing plane. Love doing hammerheads, and those big loopy rolls, slowing it down and getting those super tight loops, and slow low passes are great. It is a plane I truely love, but it is not the end all be all for me. Sometimes it is just too boring, and it really is not all that great in windy conditions, not as boring anyway. I hated the amount of lead I had to put in it, I may still put a 120FS in it. All that said here is how mine is set up:
OS91FX w/ Bisson Pitts for 91FX
Futaba ball bearing servos all around
Hanger 9 gold aluminum servo arms
Dual Elevator servos Ran 4-40 rods through the formers
(should have seen me and the wife wrestling the fuse)
Pull-Pull Kevlar on the rudder
Upgraded Aileron Hardware 4-40
Oversized tires no wheel pants (with that fat wing maybe I should put them back on LOL)
Sealed all the control surfaces.
ah and my best mod:
A stuffed Rocky pilot velcroed in, still can't knock him out on outside loops he he
(As in Rocky and Bullwinkle, the flying squirrel... I need pilots that can fly without planes...)
Oh and I like that it is 1/4 scale, flys bigger than it is, but I can fit it in the bed of my pick-up truck fully assembled.
I have flow other peoples Sigs, and they fly great too. Next time around I will probably go with the big 1/3 scale Sig, and gas. If you think the GP is scale like in flight, it only gets better when it is bigger JMHO...
