Hello Andrew

This is harry well i want to get started in the IMAC, i am scratch building the plane it is Extra 300s, for the 50cc type, but the engine i am using is a modified for airplane use it is 46cc weight around less than 4lbs. Is it ok ofr to go with this type of engine, i cant afford to buy the DA 50 it too expensive for me.

Regards
Harry Supley.

Harry,

Im glad your starting in IMAC. It is a great thing to get involved in. I would assume that the 46cc would be enough on the plane as long as you can keep it light. I know I have flown the QQ 85" yak on a DA 50 and it was insane power so if you can keep the weight to within 15-16 pounds you should have enough power for the first few classes in IMAC.

hello Andrew

Thanks for your reply, well than i think i must go for this type of combination, i will start off the construction of the of the extra, i will be building two planes at a time, so in the end i get two planes. since ARF planes cost too much i mean i cant think of buying it, and since i never purchase ARF or even a kit because i cant afford it, i go my way scratch building it, i will send you some pics of it.

Harry,

With building your own planes I think you will have much more pride when they are both completed. Please keep me informed how they are going and send pictures when ever you can.

Andrew

Yea sure Andrew i will send you the pics as i proced with the construction of the model, the fuselage sides will be light weight ply, wings & tail plane will be foam, well the covering i am thinking to go for printed graphics vinyl, i have not yet decided what design it is going to be, will send you the pics soon.
