Default Power Requirements For Multi Engine Aircraft

Don,t know much about the Snargasher other than the fact it was the model RS-1 Hehe!

Wow that Danish airplane is beautiful and a new one on me. The fuse looks a lot like some DH products. Yes indeed there goes that legendary list agine.

My Stinson is setup for .25's but have not decided which yet. The airplane is complete through cover waiting for finish, all the servo installation and linkages are complete. In one of my weaker moments I used a single servo and bellcranks for all throttles instead of a three way 'Y'.

I must confess to not following my own power advise with the Kaydet and using four Magnum .25's. I really wanted .18's but I trust the reliability of the Magnums and the K&B or MDS .18's are an unknown. The ship is 11.5 lbs. and with 1300 square inch (span was increased) has a load of around 19 oz per square foot so its overpowered floater time. But to help with the situation I installed midspan spoilers at the spars.
