New planes and engine combos?
This will be my first post to this forum. So first off thank you to all that have contributed.I found the beginers section a great help over the last 2 years. I have flown the covering off my trainer and am going to pass it on to a neighbor who has expressed an interrest in flying. The reason for the timing of this is that Iam moving from Hawaii to Marland in a couple weeks. Now I have been looking around and have found 2 planes that I am interrested in. Ihave been solo for about 1 monthes and am progressing through aerobatics. I can fly a plane well enough to not get into trouble bad and can recover decently from situations. Ican land decently (way more gentle than before ie not getting prop strikes from nose hard landingsd or not dropping to the ground from early flares into a stall at 2 feet from the ground. I have been flying a great planes escapade for a year now untill it needed to be moved with my household stuff. The 2 planes are a Pulse XT 60. I plan on putting a OS 61 fx in it. (Would this be a good motor for it? Isuspect it would fly it wonderfully ashanger 9 says to use their EVO 61 an equivilant power plant?) The second is a Great planes Cherokee. I have a os40la motor that I was thinking of using but suspect it may be a bit too weak. I also have a OS 55 AX that I was going to put in a Hanger 9 F-22 PTS. If I put the 55 AXin thecherokeeImay look for another to replace it for the F-22. After research I think these planes will be great choices. Iwould much rather spend the 150 dollars on another 55 than crash the cherokee due to being a shade under powered. My new club field will be a grass set up soa little more power maybe the way to go.Thank you.
