Default RE: Seagull PC-9 Help

Hey Delta3,

Most people like their rc planes to have plenty of power and others don't. I've been flying rc planes for a very long time, some 20 years. 98% of the planes I've flown in that time period have been well under-powered. I like under-powered planes cause it makes for longer takeoffs and more scale flight. A rc plane that is highly powered and takesoff's within a couple feet does not impress me. I like planes that barely takeoff and are highly under-powered. This plane will have an 11x5/6 not a 10x5/6. 10x5/6 is to small of a prop.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.


A friend of mine said in order to use a Perry pump on this engine, he would have to tap into the engine somewhere for it to get fuel. I'm not a mechanic so, if this PC-9 piece of crap from Vietnam keeps going it's way with the fuel, I'm gonna throw it in the trash. I didn't buy a ARF like the PC-9 so I had to modify the fueltank location, I bought it so it could be flown, not worked on. I'm considering buying the Hangar 9 Corsair .60 ARF and hopefully have a better kit, something that requires a pilot and not a chainsaw. I'll do major research on the H9 Corsair before giving them my money. I learned my lesson with the PC-9, don't jump the gun before buying a rc kit.
