Cloud Dancer 120
 

Anyone put a Ryobi 31cc in a 120 Cloud Dancer?

RE: Cloud Dancer 120
 

Just finishing up one myself, going to put a 120 Saito in it. Think a Ryobi might be a bit heavy for it, maybe an echo or Weedeater Feather lite? Sure has a lot of wing area if you build it with the long wing. Put flaps on mine so I could land it, my CD 40 would float forever.

If you try it, let me know if it works, I have a Ryobi on the shelf waiting to go in something.

What's the wing area on your Cloud Dancer? if its arround or greater than 1000 sq in go for it

Yeah my CD 40 will float forever..

The 120 plans say 1230sq. in. with the short wing.

I have 3 gas motors I can convert.

18cc (I think it's a featherlite)
23cc Koritz
31cc Ryobi

Here's the info on the CD120 plans.

I just saw the plans and I would put the Ryobi, it has ample wing area!!!!
I bet it will perform super with it.

Looked at my CD 120 and compared the Ryobi, looked a bit big, seemed like the Echo would be more suited, but the rear mounted carb of the Ryobi would make a cleaner installation. Believe the Kioritz is the same thing as Zenoha. If you use the Ryobi consider moving the servos to the tail.

The Toro 25 is lighter and more powerful than the Ryobi.

At least that is what Scott Ellington says.

Thanks for the input..
I'll go ahead and order the plans.
Then we'll see what motor will fit best and what mods need to be made.
