Hi again, Steve. Chanced across your post today. I almost said to try an OS 15 LA, as I have one that we fly once in a while. But I thought to go measure the plane it's in and discovered that it is 33 inch span and over 300 square inches! And the LA flies the wheels off that model. The Clown would be a rocket with the LA 15 and likely no good for anything but going fast. I hate to send out into the used market, but I think I would consider a Cox TeeDee .09 or a regular old Fox 15. Oh, I forgot-OS made an FP 10 that is a really cute little motor. They aren't too hard to find and would be about right for the Clown. The FP would make about the same power as the (much-older) Fox 15 and be easier to break in and run.

There are some other small motors on the market, but I'm not up to date on how they are to run. For instance, the Clown, built really light, would probably fly on the Norvel 074. But I haven't run one and can't give any help, there.

I would fly it on some .012 lines, and try 52 feet. I think that is a little long, though I would try it as a start. I'm guessing that 48-50 feet would be in the ball park.

Take care,
Kelvin
