Hey guys, thanks for the excellent advise! The hanger 9 260 does look like a good one! I have their Cessna 182 and it's a fine plane. As far as the gas engines go, I agree that gas is the way to go. Thanks for taking the time to write such as detail reply! I sure have learn several new things! Unforturately, our club restricks the use of gas engines during most of the year due to fire hazards. I ended up with a Saito 180 in my Cessna instead of a Zenoah as I would have prefered. I'm open for any other suggestion on which plane and make to go with. I have been looking over the H9 260 and the goldburg Extra 330. I may have to go with the gas engine, fly the 3d in the winter and early spring and fly my scale planes the rest of the year.
If I remember right the H9 260 is significantly lighter than the Goldberg Extra 330. This is very important for 3D and a lower powered motor.
A bit smaller, but a perfect larger glow model for 3D would be the new QQ 73" Yak. I am holding out for the new 73" E.F. that is rumored to be on the way.
Also consider the UL Giles for the largest lightest wing loading scale glow compatible model available.
