RE: Dave Patrick Edge 540 Project..
Well im slowly getting things together for this plane i now have a <font color="#000000" size="2">O.S. BGX-1 3500
This BGX-1 is the engine of choice for those Giant Scale Modelers. The BGX-1
35cc Engine was designed as a lighter, more powerful, less vibration, and more
compact alternative to the converted chainsaw gasoline engines. One drawback;
fuel economy is better with the chainsaw engines, and fuel is less expensive.
The BGX-1 includes an engine mount that mounts to the firewall in the same bolt
pattern as the backplate-style engine mounts that come with SuperTigre's models
S2000, S2500, and S3000(K) engines. You can directly replace any of those
engines with the BGX-1 without redrilling your firewall.
As stated from the tower hobbies site on the engine.
I of course was warned that this engine is overkill on this plane and that the OS 160 would be plety of engine for it. But i figured what the heck lets put some real power behind it just in case i need to get out of a sticky situation when i hit the trottle i want this thing to rocket upward.
So now after im free and clear on the power plant. i will be Saving for the alimighty servos that i will be using in the plane and of course i still need to Get the other components as well linkages and control horns ect. But just an update on my progress. :-)
