So just had thoughts flying around in my head and reading a few posts that are out there by Mr. Hanson.

Why has the RCS 140 not been targeted as a potential pattern gasser?

The engine has a rear exhaust and likes to be setup on a tuned pipe. It weighs only 2.8 lbs with a 1200mah NICAD and ignition.

Any thoughts? Has anyone tried this? Could an airframe similiar to the "lightened" carden be assembled to come in under 11 lbs. A

smaller 10 OZ tank could be used saving weight. I figure the weight difference between an OS 160 and the RCS!$) to be 10 oz but i

believe a smaller lighter ignition pack could be used and make that smaller.

In regards to engine performance, if it could swing a larger prop at say 7200 RPM, maybe a 3 blade carbon prop, would this help

in more consistent speed and more downline breaking?

Just looking for peoples thoughts and opinions.
