Default RE: Contender - Engine?

Hi Miamiflyer,

You will love the way this model flys. I first powerred mine with an old OS 40 FSR (bit underpowerd for my liking) and have recently installed a Saito 72 (with a 13x6 prop) which I find superior in performance. Move the battery pack around to balance and you won't have to add weight to balance. I would recommend that you cover the fuselage before installing the stab and fin. Don't forget to build it with flaps, they allow for a lot of different manouvers and no wind/carrier landings.

Good luck and enjoy building/carving the cowl.
