Default RE: Need first gas engine for this plane


ORIGINAL: rangerfredbob

his plane is 10lb without engine though, so it will end up at 12-13lb minimum, for fully aerobatic it would probably be better to look into the 30-40cc range

EDIT: ok, so I should have clicked on the link, 10lb with a saito 180, so it'll probably end up around 11lb, a 26 would probably be sufficient
You're right, I thought I read it was 10lbs without engine. Maybe a strong and light 26 would do the trick...

I'm not a 3D pilot, and don't really intend to be, but it would be nice to have the option to try.

I'll get the plane, still thinking about engine...
