Practicle and Reliable
 

Every person gets a chance to do something Special / its never too late
i'm designing my first plane and i chose it to be SPAD because of its greatness, this will be my graduation project from college and i need to build a practicle and reliable plane (what engine and radio are best for it) i mean cheapest and good ?

sime questions
 
I don't know a whole lot about spads. Do you run alierons, rudder, and elevator, or just rudder? What are the specs? Your engine size is going to be dependent on how much weight you can put on the nose. OS engines are cheap and reliable. I have a Futaba radio, and it works great. I'm sure you won't need anything more than a basic 4 channel radio.

OS
 
Then I would go with an OS .40LA or and OS .46FX. Those two engines are very reliable. I have one of each and they work great.
