Default RE: 456MB Dragon 40 ARF --anybody got one?

Does it get any better than this?

The K&B 61 Twister is a dream on the Dragon 40.

It weighs less than the 46 I had on it and has unlimited power.

You should of seen the face of my instructor after he flew it .

With a 6 or 7 degree prop the plane is to fast. With an 11x7 prop it was plenty fast enough against a 15mph wind at 1/8 throttle. I'm going to put a 13x4w prop on it on Monday and try it again.

Let me say that the K&B 61 twister is a great running engine. It idels well even at a very low rpm. Responce is far greater than the 46 evolution, and starting was way too easy.

If you have any doubts the 61 Twister is a great engine and a steal at $99.00.
