Default 3D Plane for 3W-85 Engine

Hi Spindoc,

Thanks for the reply. There is no doubt that the AW planes are great, but as you say I also feel they are a little on the large and heavy size for the 3W-85. While the H9 Cap is a small 33%er. I checked the weight of the 3W-85 and with the prop bolts, washer and plugs it weighs 5.2 lbs. So as you also said the CG should be good.

I have one question, you wrote that "You have to work with torque rolls". Can you elaborate on this some as I am very interested in the hovering / torque rolling ability of the plane.

I appreciate your time.

BTW for those considering the H9 Cap as I am, Chief has about 40 of the 100 left.
