Default Quadra 35 gas motor

What plane would be best for this engine ? I have one sitting around and I know it will run perfect..
So I need a plane built for this motor as it is hard to figure out what planes it will fit into .
So if you have one and a good plane it fits please let me know.

Thanks
David

What kind of planes do you like to fly or build? Knowing that would help people answer your question.

The 35 is a good old dependable engine though down on power compared to more modern engines. It is also a bit heavy compared to newer offerings. I still see these in WW1 airplanes as well as high wing floater type planes. I'm sure many other airplanes would also be suitable.

I have used the Quadra's on the large Lazy Ace, the Phaeton90 and 1/4 scale Gypsy Moth. On my Phaeton90, it was the Quadra 72cc. I did have to move the firewall back a few inches and beef up the landing gear as the engine/muffler weighed 7 pounds but the plane was a dream to fly, still would land at a very low speed.

I have a pair of them on a Bud Nosen 1/4 scale Cessna 310 from about 1977. They are heavy but then so is the plane.
