Default RE: Great Planes Super Skybolt ARF


ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

It will fly great slow. See if that engine will swing an APC 16x4w That will give you stump-pulling power without the speed.

I reviewed the Skybolt last summer for RCU. Check out the video, I'm pretty sure there's a slow fly by or two on it.

Thanks!

What an outstanding review!

I did notice you used an OS 91 with a 14x7 prop. So do you think your suggested 16x4w (presumably APC) on the Supertigre 75 on the Skybolt is actually a workable combination, considering what it took for your plane?

I just didn't think the little ST 75 was capable of swinging that size prop. However, it would be nice, in this instance, to be wrong.
