Default RE: NEWBIE'S NEW ONE

it looks like a tower .46. some guys give it a bad rap, but that motor has got a lot of snort. i have 2 of those engines now. you will fly around a 1/4 throttle with that motor. I had the same combo (motor/engine). i retired a plane and the engine was laying around and we kinda hit a funk at the field where nobody had a trainer for someone new to fly. so i bought the arf and a couple of people had fun with it. i had fun with it too.

I put 2 servos in the wing for aileron diferential. i think the instructions actually called for the rudder and ailerons to be Y'd together because the plane had a lot of adverse yaw through turns.

it was a pretty good bargain for the money, alhtough im not a fan of the cheap covering they use. go with a low heat covering such as towercote or econocote for repairs.
