Hi Walther,

You might try posting your question in the r/c scale section or the warbird section of these forums. As I recall the Bridi F7F was sized for .40-.60's engines. They were good flyers but care was needed when building because they tended to be heavy, usually towards the tail. For sport flying I would lean towards fixed landing gear and .30-40 engines to keep the wing loading as light as possible. If you want a scale model then I would be really mindfull of the weight as there isnt much wing area on this model.

Thanks Carlos G, I know that weight will have to be a consideration as I was going to build it scale. I all so was going to use .40s in it.

do not open up the cowls as it cause the engines to overheat. a 2" by 2" square is cut into the front of the cowl to let the air in.If you read the build manual there is a warning inh there about this.
