RE: Vagabond Problems
50+, I had a Fox Schneurle 15 on my All Star, and it did move with the Fox. I never tried any other motor on it, so I don't have any data to compare it too, but it was a bit hot on landings, even at Idle. Maybe my Fox .15 Schneurle was too much for it, but back in those days I was pretty green at all this R/C stuff, so what the h__ did I know? Come to think of it, that question may probably still be applicable today. I later scratch-built a larger version, 2X the original size, and with a borrowed .40 Enya on it, it was a sizzler! When I had to return the Enya, I gave the enlarged All Star to a friend who never flew it! He was chicken. It was fast, but controllable, and in the mid RPM ranges it handled flew very well. It really was, and is, a good sport bipe design. I better get off this thread as I have a new Magnum .15 on hand and just may talk myself into building another All Star...when I really want a DH Tiger Moth in that size. GP
