Hey, Im the new guy.
I am very interested in the GP Pitts. Purchased and watched the Model Sports vid. Not enough time spent on this fine model in my opinon.
I own, and was thinking of useing a FPE 2.4 engine, (41cc). Weighs in at 3 pounds, with a 20x10, produces 18#'s thrust. Whatcha think?
I have it mounted on a Sig 4 star-120 now. weighs in at 15#'s and has vertialy unlimted vertical. I would like to add smoke the the Pitts also, so extra weight there.
I have been very impressed with the FPE so far. Ran great right out of the box. I think it should fly the Pitts just fine, but I would like the opinon of others more experienced than I. I am not familar with the other engines mentioned in this thread.
Except the O.S. Twin the "really good looking guy", mounted on the Pitts in the vid
