ORIGINAL: Rupurt

What did you build it from kit, plans? I have been thinking about a 25cc homie twin as a project for the distant future.
I built it from Don Smith plans...not real easy plans to work from, but if you're an experienced scratchbuilder you can do it. He also has plans for a Cessna Bobcat twin, which would be a good candidate for the 25s. I have his plans for the Ju-88 and I'm thinking about using the two 30s for that one in the future.

I had a Homie 30cc in my 1/4 scale Tigermoth, but the plane did not have much performance. The model is 17 lbs. and I had to bite the bullet and put a US35 in it. Now that I have two 30s, I'm reconsidering the Ju-88. I haven't done anything fancy to my Homelites...stock mag, bigger carb, that's it.

It's kind of funny when guys see the Me-110 fly and they ask me what engines are in it, and they hear the answer...Homelite leafblower engines![sm=lol.gif]
