H9 Sundowner 36
Looks like a sweet little plane for a Dub Jett engine. Due out in Feb. I think.

RE: H9 Sundowner 36
It suggests up to a 40NT, that engine is actually a tad heavier than the new 60 NX. Could be interesting if the plane could hold together with the bigger engine tho the fights would be short with a small tank.

RE: H9 Sundowner 36
Oh Pooo:
Well, got to admit this is the first twinge of regret I have had after selling off my glow stuff and going all electric. Oh, wait a minute, whats that sparkle and noise in the back of the engine cabinet. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Among the electdrics, there sits my long loved old Jett 35 I just did not have the hart to sell at any price. Still turns smoothly in the original bearings and lots of pinch on top. I honestly don't recall how old she is, and now think this honey will outlive me. Dummy, look on the trophy wall. Club open pylon class (anything goes) within reason? 1st, 2004, 2003, 2002 and one undated. Sound about right, 8 or more years. Took um a long time to find a sport motor 40-50 cc that would catch up. he he he he. Once caught, could have and should have just improved the airframe, but just so tired of all the sniveling. Looks like this is a must have bird. Maby we could get our pylon racing back on track with a spec glow or electric motor. Maby some of the younger shoes can knock those old tigers off the hill, huh? ENJOY

While the "click" on accessories does lead you to the 40NX, I believe the suggested engine is the [link]http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EVOE0360[/link]36NT. That motor specs in at or about 12.5ozs. Bit lighter then say the 60NX even with a light weight muffler.

RE: H9 Sundowner 36
you will also have to beef up the tail feathers.
if plan to go to a standard 45 size engine then the only choice is a 56LX. you will need to make sure the rest of the plane can handle turns while going that fast.
the plane stock will not handle a a standard 45-60 size engine in a 45-55 size engine case.

RE: H9 Sundowner 36
Nice, good looking plane for sure.. I could take that to work with me and stop at the field on the way home, good size and I like the plug in wings...
Have to check the motor cabinet tonight and see what we have....

RE: H9 Sundowner 36
I been thinking of getting one of these and putting a Webra 36 on it. I think the Webra would be the better route to go for this type of plane rather than the Jett 35. For one it's cheaper but you will still get plenty of power and should definitely get this plane well over 100mph. Don't get me wrong, Jett engines are nice but just a bit pricy. And for the price I would go with a Rossi engine when it gets to that class. But I have a Webra 36 on my Extreme Flight Outlaw and it smokes. It's funny because my Outlaw is faster than a lot of the electric guys EDF jets at the field lol. They despise glow/gas powered planes so I used that combo to show them glow power can be just as fast 
xD.

The West 36V1 is claimed to do 23k on an APC 8 x 6 (Weston's claims not mine) so that would be the easy option for us lot this side of the pond.

My thunder tiger .36 does 18,000 + with the 8x8 and a Jett muffler.

yes the old 32 with jett pipe will do well with a 8x7 or 8x8 prop. the 35 AX will do very well with a 8x8 prop also
