Enough engine for 17lb P-47?
I bought a used P-47 a while back, and had a friend of mine recover it. I have no idea what make it is. For all I know, it may be scratch built. The previous owner also bought it used, and was unable to give me any info about it. It was originally covered with fabric and dope, and it was recovered the same way. The wingspan is 77", fuse length is 64", and it tips the scales at 17 lbs, with an OS 1.60 FX.....which brings me to my question. Is the 1.60 enough engine for this size plane? It didn't have an engine when I got it, and I had hoped the 1.60 would work, but I'm not so sure after weighing it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
