Default Thanks for the help lgodin...

Thanks for the information on the Magnum 1.80

I've been getting mixed reviews on that engine. Everyone agrees that it is a pig...but those that love them say the people that aren't having any luck with them, just aren't allowing them to break-in fully. I've been told by several people that you have to run a minimum of 5 gallons thru it before it starts to behave, and someone else has told me that it would hover his 16 pound H9 UltraStick at 1/2 throttle. He even said it would climb out...but very slowly. I figure if it can do that on a 16 pound plane...it would have to do at least that good on a 10 to 12 pound plane.

But anyway...my attention has turned now to a Kangke Cap 232. I never heard about this plane until yesterday...but people are telling me that this is a good plane.

Anyway, I never said the Magnum HAD to find a home. If it doesn't work out in anything...I can always use it to hold down the cores when I'm sheeting my wings!

Thanks for the help!
