Default RE: Engine thrust angles


ORIGINAL: pdillon

The info you gave leads me to question my own build in progress. I'm building a Sr Telemaster,w/Fuji BT50SB engine its for towing.Well the down/right angles change from the stock position given on the plans?The engine is bigger & weights more than required. Thank You Phil

Yes, the engine certainly weighs more than the design assumes. 4.9 lbs vesus what for a 60 two-cycle? about 1.5 lbs?

What you're really going to need is a shorter nose. 78oz vs 24oz.............

And the structure is less than robust. Adding weight to balance is going to create a "dumbell with a balsa bar."
Ultra light balsa construction. For 4 channels and .40 to .60 engines. Senior Telemaster uses 4 RC channels. ................... With flaperons it nearly hovers into landings! Nothing, nothing, nothing flies like Senior Telemaster! Senior Telemaster is so lightweight that we've found it flies beautifully with a .45 size engine
