Hey guys, I have an OS 160-FT twin that needs a home. I was thinking about a stick type plane or just general sport plane, but the few I have seen are discontinued. What would be a good plane for this engine? It runs great and swings a 18-6 at 7k.

A 1/4 scale CUB would be perfect. maybe a bit overpowered but you do have a throttle. 7K on a 18x6 is not very good. My old OS FT120 (the original OS twin) will turn an 18x6 about 8K

The 7k was on the test stand running plenty rich. To tell the truth, it was too cold outside to needle it with gloves on.....I only ran it once. In my search I found this: http://www.nitroplanes.com/aezlzen12070.html . This should work right? I hope so cause I ordered one!
