Default RE: Falcon 56

ORIGINAL: K-man 15

Thanks guys

i will probably end up putting an O.S .46 in mine since it is priced decently and you say it is a good engine

Which version of the Falcon 56 are you building, K-man 15?

The original version flew with a .15 to a .19, though I flew ours (the wife and I) with a Fox .25 R/C (plain bearing). The second model of the same version (1) flew well with an OS .35 R/C engine (also plain bearing). Today's OS LA .40/.46, Thunder Tiger .42 would also power the Version 1 Falcon 56 well. The Falcon 56 II & III would benefit from the higher power of the .40/.46 FX/AX engines that have been mentioned. Be careful, this model tends to build nose heavy when fortyish sized engines are used. We loved our Falcons, both 56 and Senior.
