I need some help decidign on what plane to buy for my evo 1.00nx 2 stroke engine.... what do you guys think is my best option on airframe to practice 3d with this engine...
I've been flying 3D with an Evo 100 for several years. It's a great running engine with excellent power and throttling. The only catch is that the Evo 100 needs a ST 90 carb and an OS F plug to run good enough for 3D flying. With the ST 90 carb and the OS F plug I've been extremely pleased with the Evo 100 in my Katana 70.
Without having to get a profile plane..
Oh oh........you just severely limited your choices to nearly zero options.
I was going to suggest a Mojo or MoAss 60 as the first choice. The Katana 70 also flys very well, but isn't really rugged enough to withstand learning 3D.
The Funtana 90 really needs a more powerful engine than the Evo 100 for 3D flying, especially if you're just beginning to learn 3D.
how heavy an airframe could I go to 3d...
My Kat 70/Evo 100 weighs 6.5 pounds. I'd consider about 8 pounds to be the maximum for acceptable 3D performance.
Unless you open your mind to a profile, the problem you're going to have is finding a full fuselage plane that is light enough for an Evo 100.........AND has enough wing area to make a good 3D trainer.
