os 91 fs spins a 15x4 @ almost 10k rpm, os 120 fs spins 16x4 @ almost 10k. i have heard the funtana 90 w/saito 100 uses a 16x4. 15x6 should be about the same rpm as 16x4, change diameter by 1 inch and pitch by 2 inches, as an approx starting place.

Hey emo i got a question for you. Im 15 and just bought my first truck. It is a s10 so similar size to yours. I would like to haul planes in the back and really like your setup there. Do you haev a problem with your planes getting really dirty or anything like that without a cover.

AB,
I'll chime in on that too....
I have a toyota pickup with a canopy. Only thing is, the back windo fell out a couple of years ago. We have a gravel road for about .5 mi to our flying site. Yes, my planes get dirty. I just put a fitted sheet over them. The elastic pulls in under wing tips, props, whatever, so it doesn't blow off. I tell people a new canopy costs $1500, a sheet $3

RE: Katana V2 70 - 2 Piece Wing
well i kinda hate canopies and i think it would totally ruin the look of my truck. Being 15 that is a big deal. I think i my just build a dust proof crat for my airplanes. That way they wont fly around the bed and that is fairly cost effective. Im not sure how it will work but i will have to see.
here are some pics assuming they worked jsut to show off it my baby so please dont bash it

E,
thanks. I wrote down the name of the camera.
AB:
bash what? That is a seriously sweet ride! I love the lighter blue stripes on the doors. The wheels look good, too. Is that the stock S10 grill? It has a compact, clean look to it.
The sheet thing is kinda funny. I have a built civic, big system, etc, but I drive my old pickup to fly. My friends tease me about it, then I 3D their butts off and they shut up.

About the canopies melting that kinda worries me. Im thinking light coloured crate for that exact reason. I cant drive till october so i got time to ponder.

hmmm. Wheel pants. I have an extra set in that size, too. But they're white. Also, they remind me of my big gassers. hassle. Nice looking, though.

E,
I think they look cool. Is there any of that blue on your plane to tie it together? I'm going to set my white ones on mine and throw up a pic. It wil be on in a few minutes. Let me know what you think

That's what they said about the Back Street boys uh, sorry....
The red thing is where I keep the NOS. Acually, i had a mishap, and its a fuse doubler. Red was all I had laying around in low heat.
