i am putting a webra 1.20 2 stroke in my lanier edge 540 25%. do you think it will hover with this engine? how will it handle the other 3-D manouvers?

No way will it hover with a Webra 120. Mine had a Irvine 150 and it would not even come close. The plane will not 3D at all with a 120.

I'll second that. Needs a Moki 1.80 or something like it to be a real 3D monster.

If you are talking about the lanier 120 i am putting a fpe 2.4 gas up front i have heard this bird takes a lot of weight up front to balance.

BAS,
I think you will like it with that engine on it. I built two of those planes and they did require much nose weight to balance per manual. It is still on my list of models to have in the future, it is very well built, Top Notch. Keep me posted on how the engine works and how it flies with it.

Mine will just hover with a OS160 at 3/4 to fill throttle, most of the real good hover pilots at our field shoot for hover setups at 1/2 throttle giving them plenty of pull out power.

Thanks for the encouraging words Tim i was wondering if it would be to much motor but from what i have heard the 2.4 with the right prop will perform great Mine has the upgraded ign , it gives it about 600 or so more top rpms and idles great . Running a 20/8 standard Menz or Carbon fiber 20/9 . I will completet the bird this winter when things slow down a little so i will let you guys know . Thanks Bruce
