Default RE: HOMEMADE RC TRAINER FROM WEAD EATER ENGINE

what is the displacement of the engine.old rule of thumb for hp to weight of plane was 1 hp= 12 pounds .you should have about 1500 to 2000 square inches of wing area and weight under 21 pounds.My quadr 35 (35 cc 2.2 hp ) uses an 18-8 prop I would start with a 16-6 or 16-8 prop .
