RE: Contender - Engine?
campbec,
I hope it doesn't fly like my Ustick 60/saito100.[&o]
I'm starting to dislike this plane.
anyways, nice to hear that there is a contender flying in australia!
I've never seen one and am very curious how this kit comes out.
so far i have the fin, rudder and elevator ready for covering and am
already kneedeep in the balsa dust. lot's of work there.
you said that you've changed engines, how is this possible?
from what i see on the plans, the balsa around the engine doesn't allow
any access to the screws.
I would like to get an irvine 72 for it but i'm worried that i don't have enough
clearance for the bigger prop.
same size and weight as OS 61 fx but with the power of a 91.
