Default RE: My First Airshow!

I didn't think you were mean to anybody John...thanks for letting us "worry warts" give ya a few suggestions.

The Webra will hover it at about 1/2 to 2/3 throttle and has a good punch out vertically, but to tell ya the truth, I've been thinking of going to a 4 stroke. The 2 stroke is powerful enough, but the 4 stroke has a quicker throttle response and when you throttle back, you don't have to wait for the engine to "wind down", so 4 strokes also have better "brakes".

The one I have is not pumped, and the fuel tank is in the stock location. I think the Webra is a good deal at about 200. and it gets great fuel "mileage" and I can fly it for almost half an hour on the stock tank. I don't use full throttle for anything but pure verticle, and spend most of the time at 1/4 to 3/4 throttle...

I'm still debating wether I want to spend the $$$ on another (4 stroke ) engine


Fly safe and be happy and spread the good word...
