OK you guys and your pictures, do you really have to post them?
Now I have gone an ordered my Eindecker, I can no longer put my car in the hanger.
Just have a couple of questions, you might be able to help on. First I have a Saito .65GK would that be to much engine, and how would it balance? No one has said much about balance, adding lead [:@] etc. Next I saw the posts on the fuel tank did you all just change the cap or did most put in a new tank? This plane looks really cool, and I have no WarBird in my fleet. [8D]
I put a Magnum 61 in mine and it balances perfect with only a JR 600 batt.tucked just behind the fuel tank and tank pushed forward to the firewall. As far as the tank goes mine leaked, but not because of a hole, but rather I didn't crank down the screw which pulls the plug tight. As far as the Saito 65 it would be way over powered. You don't have to use all the power just use throttle control. Weight I'm not sure about. I would say campare it to the Magnum 61 if it is close then you will be fine. The lighter you keep this plane the better it flys. Put a groupner prop on it you will be pleased.
Chevelle has a 40 LA in his and he flys fine with it... On windy days into the wind can be tricky with the smaller motors.
