The 7'4" 18 lbs plane just hangs on the prop, and has towering vertical when not called upon to perform towing duties.
pe reivers, what type of plane are you using for towing, and in your opinion, how large a glider can you (safely and easily) tow using the MVVS 35cc motor?
Which is your final preferred exhaust system for this motor?
I am looking at building a towplane, and I can get an MVVS 35cc gasser for a very good price. I'm just trying to decide if it's a waste of money and whether I should just spend twice as much to get a ZDZ 50 or 60 and be done with it.
Opinions and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan.
I use a 90" span Freight train (own design) or a Multiplex biglift.
the 35cc engine has towed gliders up to 18 lbs and 5 meters span without any problems. Larger ones were not available, so I cannot tell how it would have performed.
