scratch building/engine selection
I am putting together a scratch built mid-winger that has a w.s. of 35" and a length of 28". It has a basic "boxey" fuse with ailerons. I had considered going brushless, but due to weight, I figured on using a Norvel .074 that was in my collection. My question is: will this engine provide enough thrust? I have asked several guys in the club and they are clueless as to how much weight a Norvel .074 can pull. I believe the model should weigh approximately 24-26oz. Any feedback would be helpful.
