RE: Inmate escaped - Ryobi
Bill,
What Airframe is that?
Looks very "pattern" like...
Hope you got at least 1100 sq inches of wing area and it weighs less than 15 lbs fueled up!!
That fuel tank is kind of ominous too...do you have a clunk setup in it?
I like the attempt to re-use the tank though....easy to fill-er up. Would be neat to have gas cap style but buried in nose of plane with clunk setup (of course).
Find a Bambula 18x8 to put on that ryobi....my favorite prop for them...great pull. On rcshowcase.com..
Good Luck!

RE: Inmate escaped - Ryobi
CrazyHerb,
Did you escape?
The airplane is a gas pattern from an article published in RCM probably in the last five years. I have been unable to locate the article but would like a copy. The airplane is a hand me down gift from a flyer with knowledge that I have a good time experimenting with junkers. Thanks for the inspiration to calculate the wing area, which is 1416 sq. in. Wing loading at 20# is 32oz per sq. ft. It will probably fly. Once helper engines were put on an airframe that would barely fly. Helper engines were good enough for the Air Force in the 50’s.
Unfortunately the fuselage is 8 pounds and the wing is 4 pounds without any equipment or engine. Finished weight is expected to be between 18 and 20 pounds.
The tank has a limited movement clunk on the right side and is probably great for turning right but bad for turning left. It won’t work but will be tested anyway.
Added a picture of another wild experiment. Note the pull starter. It always cranks.
