Scooter04,

You can run a 16X8, 17X6, or an 18X6 prop on a 26cc gasser. I like a little over kill on my planes as far as servos so if it were mine I'd probably run Hitec HS-645MG at 107 oz of torque. I have a Sig Rascal 110 with a G26 spinning a XOAR 18X6 prop and on a smooth runway with a little head wind it will left off in less than 50 feet. If it's heavier grass and bumpy there will be a lot of drag on the wheels and it will take a whole lot more space. If they are funtional wing struts they are needed. Refer to the manual to see if they are funtional. I've been looking in the RCU Classifieds at buying a H9 Taylorcraft but most of what I see is $400.00 to $500.00 just for the NIB ARF.
I always wondered why they quit carrying this arf. It's still sold in Europe. Seen one fly several times. 5 foot knife edges down the runway are really cool looking. The guy lost it when hovering it.
