Dear all,
I just bought an extra 300l .15 size plane. ( wingspan 930mm and fueslage length is 840mm )The overall weight is about 1,100 - 1,300 grams. No doubt the spec ask for .15 engine, I intend to put in a .25 engine. Will it be okay considering an additional weight of 78 grams from an O.S .15 to a O.S .25 engine. Will the plane head be heavy because of the additional weight on the .25 engine? Any ways to rectify this problem? or do you think that the O.S .15 CV-A performance will be on par with the O.S .25FX?
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
I put an OS .25LA Blue in a Model Tech Mini Magic Extra 300 and it's a blast. I only had to put my battery pack behind the LE of the wing to bring it into balance. I used a 5 cell 1100 Mah NI_MH pack. Everything else is in the stock location. This plane is very close in size and weight as the one you describe. 900 X 900 and 1100Grams.
Most of the time I fly about half thortle, but point it up and power up it is unlimited in the vertical. What a hot Rod.
Only catch is I am using the stock tank, and that baby drinks up the fuel, so 6 minuets is about it.
