You NEED to overpower a profile. That's what it's all about!
85" span Ultimate. ZDZ 120 for power. EDIT- it's sitting next to a 1/4 scale, Midwest Giles 202.
I know it. There's no point in putting a 46 or 50 on a 4-5 pound profile at this altitude. It'll have
almost enough power to fly like a trainer.
I like the Giles. I have one in the shop. Have never finished it. It needs at least 1.50 for sport flying at this altitude, and I don't use glow engines that big anymore. I'm either flying gasoline, or glow .75 and under. I'm not buying another glow engine over .75 in size, so the MW Giles will probably never get finished.
I guess I'll order the OMP and slap the .75 on it. If they really only weigh 4 or 5 pounds--it'll be just right with this engine.
Thanks
