Default RE: can anyone help???

aerowoof,

Right now there's nothing in it - the Cat has been retired (for now). It was built in 1980 and has over 2500 flights on it. I've work out a K&B Torpedo .40, K&B .40 pumper and Irving .40 Mk. II. The Irving was rebuilt once, so 4 engines? Not to mention the gimbles on one radio. I'm limited on the engine I can run due to physical size - there is not any room for a larger engine mount on the nose, so right now the only engine I have to run on it is a NIB OS .40 FP. Since the plane weighed about 4.5 lbs, if I do fly it again I think that engine should be adequate as it will never be raced again, only sport flying.

Eventhough it did some racing, I built it for sport flying - too heavy to really race. I've got over size wheels for flying off very rough fields and the centersection is wrapped in fiberglass over 7" wide.
