Default VQ Model Engine Size

Hi all,

I would like to thank you for your support and patronage. With out you, the customer, we would not be here.

I would like to emphasize that it is very important to use the recommended engine size as stated in the manual for your particular airplane. Whether you are using a 2-cycle or a 4-cycle engine, please stay with in its class. I can not stress enough on this matter. I have seen and read what engine size the customer are putting in to their VQ model planes with out any structural reinforcement. (ie. fiberglassing the center wing section.) As with any plane whether an ARF or a kit plane, if you over-power the plane with out any structural reinforcement, the plane will have a very high risk of structural failure. Our planes were designed and tested at the recommended engine size, any thing larger is at the risk of the owner. These planes are suppose to be flown in a semi-scale manner and were not intended to be rocketships in the air.


Sincerely,

Mike
