Will it fly with Norvel 074?
Thanks
Probably not very well. Some here have tried that (on the Herr Lil' Extra) with varied results. Ranged from "flew OK" to "couldn't get off the ground." The plane is quite large, & is gonna weigh 'bout 24 OZs with the Norvel. Also, even with more power (Enya 11 CX) the plane favors a 7" diameter prop. It's been my experience that if a plane is big enough, heavy enough, & dirty enough, to need a 7" (or larger) prop, then a old "plain Jane" .09 Enya, with a 7x4 or 7x5 MAS2 will totally out-perform the Norvel. Save that sweet (and getting rare) Norvel for something else. See the pic, Near copy of the Simple 400 fuselage, MSS wing, baloon tank, 3 servos, & with the .074 Norvel, gonna weigh 'bout 15 OZs. The Norvel runs a MAS 6x4 close to 20K. The profile version has been a real hoot. ................ George K.
