Default SIG Mini Plane (Bipe)
Howdy -

Finally got the nerve to build a plane - haven't done so since Arf's showed up- sorry.

Feels good to cut balsa, and the smell of 30 minute epoxy fresh from the microwave can't be beat - except for a warmed Krispy Kreme. Anyway - sorry to ramble on.

Need some help with the powerhouse for this plane. Plans show a .45 Enya 2 stroke - plenty of speed, but I am a Saito Fan and would like to know if a Saito 40 is enuf - need to be mindful of wieght - lite plane - less than 5 pounds fully fitted - not looking for lightning speed as much as I am for low speed torque. Might also consider an old OPEN ROCKER OS.

Also - when it comes to laying in the Turtle Deck - any tricks would be welcome.

I will probably post more questions as I start building wings and such.

Oh, and if you have one of these - what are the flying characteristics?

Thanks -
