Has anyone flown a Patrick Ultimate with an RCS 140?
I have a Patrick Ultimate 120, and would like to power it with a gas engine. Has anyone flown one with a RCS 140? What kind of performance do you get?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Has anyone flown a Patrick Ultimate with an RCS 140?
Be advised getting the bipe to balance with a gasser in it would be tough. They usually come out nose heavy. I had to cut a hatch in the back of my bipe as far back as the fuse would allow for the battery to get my OS 160 to balance. The rcs is a bit heavier and you still need the ignition , batt pack and switch to make it even more nose heavy. Certainly not impossible but you would have to overcome a few obstacles such as the cowl rakes up at a high angle, lots of engine and muffler would be exposed making it a bit unsightly (assuming standard inverted setup)
