RE: GP Super Stearman
Hi guys I need an advice, I have been trying to buy this beautiful bip, but for many reasons had not bought, the most substantial reason is the engine choice. I really do not want to make this plane heavy, I like the idea of adding weight to the nose for balancing, that gives me a chance to place batteries in front and save some weight, in the other hand I’d like to use a Gas engine and that means that there is no weight to add to the nose (isn’t it?). I am also willing to use a Magnum 4 stroke 180 size (Good price at tower hobbies) but want to have an advice of this particular engine. I use to fly at an altitude of 4,000’ and need the extra power. How about the Zenoah 26 is it good enough? Have extra power? What you guys think about the Magnum I have described? Which way you would take? And for last Which engine is more powerful and reliable the Magnum or the Zenoah?
Thanks
Alfred.
