76" Rudderbug Engine Selection
I am planning to put a new old stock bushing OS Max .25 with the strap on muffler in my Rudderbug. Think that's enough power?

Depends on how light you build I think that engine will swing a (10)-(3-1/2) prop, you can find them on ebay now and then. We are having a vintage R/C event down here in Cedar City 31 JUL - 2 AUG why you should come down and fly with us.

i think you will be fine, if flying from unmowed grass you might want to to use Trexler wheels and smooth turning bearings.Hope you are going to build it rudder only.

Sorry to disappoint but I'm making it three chanel. Contemplating nose wheel steering also. The rudder is tiny but the article makes big promises about the rudder authority.

I haven't even thought about it. I'll have to give it some consideration. I've only been to Cedar City once. I should talk Bob Gray into carpooling with me. I have several old timers. Just realized you were suggesting the prop on EBay. I thought you meant the engine.
