Help find the right engine
Hi!! I am new around here, I am 34 from Denmark and ROOKIE
I have a Trainer 60 from Great Planes and it's almost finish'd. Now the big quistion. WHAT ENGINE IS THE BEST for this kit???. I dont care the price
I have the OS 61 FX in my mind, Is it to big for the plane, or are there better choices?? I just don't want an underpowered engine

RE: Help find the right engine
OS makes a good reliable engine, 61 is good. I prefer more power than called for in all my planes. in a .60 size plane I use a Super Tigre .75, very reliable, and very fast. I would not recommend going larger than recommended though if you have not been flying long.

Hej!
Om din modell har en spännvidd på 180-220cm och väger omkring 3.5-5kg så är det lagom med en 10cc tvåtakts motor (.60-.61). montera en 13x5 to 14x4 propeller och bara flyg! En propeller 12x6 fungerar också bra men de andra ger lugnare flygning.
Vilken motor du väljer spelar inte så stor roll idag då alla motorer numera fungerar bra.
OS, TT, MVVS, Webra, Irvine, Super-Tigre, Magnum osv har alla en motor som är perfekt för din modell.
Ett tips ! Skaffa en motor som går tyst! Både OS, Irvine´och MVVS har ljuddämpare som gör att motorn går mycket tyst! Tystare än en fyrtaktare.
Hello!
If your model has a span of 180cm-220cm, weighting between 3,5-5kg, then a 10cc two-stroke .engine (60-.61) will be perfect! Just put on a 13x5 or 14x4 prop and fly. A 12x6 will work good too but the other props will give you a more relaxed flying model.
Which engine you choose doesn't really matter much as all engines on the marked these days are working good.
Be it OS,TT or any other doesn't really matter, choose whatever you like.
Some advise! Get a quiet engine! OS,Irvine and MVVS have ultra quiet silencers that will make your engine run quieter than a fourstroke.
Hälsningar!
