RE: Help with Midwest AT-6 Texan
I made a misleading mistake here....I did not proof read what I wrote and I should have. I left a 1 out of my sentence. That's a 19 pound plane not 9! It would make a nice glider at 9 #. Sorry about that. Anyway, I think Terry is probably right about Saito 1.20 being borderline to fly this plane. It may take a couple of football fields to take off. Now the sad part: I think I may have bought an underpowered / overbuilt AT-6 Texan and I will have to dig into my pockets for some $$$ for a bigger engine.[>:]
Would a Zen G23 turning a 16 x 8 work better? More weight than Saito. I have one here looking for a home.
