Engine size recommendations
I am at the point of completing a large plane for use as a camera-video plane. It is an original design with the following specs:
Span 134" Chord 18" Airfoil NACA 6409 modified Airframe weight without engine and camera equipment 13lb 4oz Configuration Twin boom pusher. Design stall speed @ 21 lbs 22 mph Expected operation speed 25 to 35 mph I would like to use a 26cc Shindawa that I have since it is the lightest engine. However I have a 30cc Kioritz, 32cc Mac, 35cc Stihl and a 38cc Echo. All have operated on gas/glow mix and perform well. Any thoughts on which engine would be best? |

Hi,
Go with the Echo as it is the biggest. It will swing a twenty inch prop and provide more power if you need it. Dave |
