Default RE: R/C Nobler Topflite Gold Edition

I don't know if it is the La or the weather,, doesn't matter, I don't have the patience for engines that don't run.

Today I ordered a new Saito .56 4 stroke for it. I have never had a bad Saito,, currently I have 9 flying. Guess I'll have to make it 10.

My biggest consideration was weight. The La weight about 11 oz. The 4 strokes were 15, 19,, and 19.9 oz. The 56 gave the most power to weight given prop size and ground clearance. I was afraid that larger than a 12" prop would dig the grass when not mowed.

We are have lost our field and will be out of a site soon. So grass mowing is also up in the air.

Engine won't be in until Fri and I will need a couple of days to make the mods. UGH,, already cut the cowl. Jim
