I recently acquired an 0S 48 4 stroke. I would prefer a kit over an arf. Would love a nice warbird if available in the size. Just graduated from college so price is an issue, max is around 150 but under 100 would be nice

Jugger,

Check out the Great Planes Mustang. It's a good flyer, not truly scale, but it looks good. I had one with a 2 stroke 46 and it flew great. A 4 stroke 48 might be a little slow it would likely fly in a scale like fashion. It costs around $95.00.

Hope it's not your first r/c. Getting a "Warbird" as your first plane is an almost guaranteed disaster.

I wish you good fortune regardless. That's a nice little engine, pick a plane for a 30 or so 2 stroke and it should be fine.

not my first plane, although first 4 stroke, have had 4-5 planes plus a heli

Well, if you were successful with a helicopter you should have no trouble at all with a plank.

Four strokes and two strokes are different worlds, but not so different to cause any trouble. Biggest problem running them is learning to hear the peak as you needle them, it helps to use a tach until your ear "Develops."

And a trick on adjusting the valves is turning the adjuster screw until you have zero clearance, then when you tighten the locknut the threads stretch just that little bit and you'll find the clearance perfect.

Enjoy it.

Bill.
