Handmade glinder with 4.0cc engine ... is it good idea ? and where/how to put it ...
MY palne - lenght: about 130 cm weight: 600 g
wings - lenght: 200 cm weight: 300 g
My TRANSMITTER is only with 2 channels ( check my pofile

)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah my sailpane is pretty light so i have to put some weight to it ...
point is that i dont have this starting rubber ... what ever ... so it costs about 30 $ - 60 $
for this money i can buy an engine what can add some speed to my plane ...so by this way i can get my glinder up to sky ...
i want to put/install/iaffix engine what i can start easly and maybe use in in the future
and yea about this 3. channel thing (gas setting) what ever i have very old diesel engine without this gas thing...
but this engine is so old that i cant start it [:'(]
and im not so dumm that i cant get that i can set trottles...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
as i red from other forums (subforums)
4.0cc is too powerful ... it will cause rocket effect lol ... whatever
but maybe 2.5 cc is ok ?
15 LA (os engine)
and if ill put it on pane nose/top then i can get ths pane up to sky ?
pls comment
