The sound of a 4-stroke would be more scale.

I am a new flyer, so just keeping the thing flying will be quite the accomplishment for me. I wonder if I should just get a new engine...Mmmm. Any votes for a .61 4 stroke? Or should i stay with a .50?

Also, there are many people at my field that I trust and there are a few whom I REALLY trust. I have asked questions and gotten good advice there as well. But there is an issue on which I find only a wavering consensus. Engine Brand/Quality/Price/Relibility....etc.

I think, for this plane, I would like a .50 4 stroke or a .61 4-stroke. I have a Magnum .91 in my Kadet and I think it's great, especially for the price. I don't know anyone with a magnum .50. and I am unsure if there are any Magnum .61's at my field...(I'm sure there are, but ....). Is the Magnum .61 as good as the .91?


I will be 'building', (It's an ARF), a Sig Mayhem this summer and have taken advice from my instructor. I will be running a Saito .91 or a Saito 100...still need to pin him down between students and helping people tune their engines etc...

Back to the cessna...I just want a good .50 or .61 4 stroke. OS, Magnum ...YS...or ????

BTW this is not a scale plane...it's an ARF that is scale-like. I wonder why they don't make it anymore? (It's a good looking ARF, if you like cessnas).

(BTW...Machinegun21, do you ever fly at Palomar?)

OH GREAT....no spell check, (internal server error)..now my terrible spelling is naked and exposed....

Thanks,

Mark
