Default Four Star 60

Is a Supertigre G-75 too much engine for a Four Star 60?

Nope. 75 size motors stemmed from over-bored .60 size motors, designed to give extra power to .60 size planes.

Nope. My 4Star60 tolerated an OS91FX, Saito 100 and YS 1.10 for times. It currently is using a 91 4-stroke which is pretty equivalent to your ST G75. It'll work just fine ...

Great thread. I flew my Four Star 60 with my Super Tigre .75 last night. I think I have a 12x7 prop on the plane, and it is a very nice combo. I enjoy flying a routine, and using the throttle alot. The .75 has that little edge over the .60, so you don't have to "stand" on it all the time.

I flew my 2 4*60s with an OS .91FX and a Magnum .91XLS, both with an Ultra Thrust tuned muffler that added over 1,000 rpm to a 14-6 prop. Great combination. Mine were kit bashed into a Kawasaki Ki-61 Tony.

By the way, moving the gear to the wing made the takeoffs very straight and easy with little or no correction. I could just pop the power and go. I should have installed retracts.

After I bashed the first one, the tail came off, I bought the orange one and remade it into the OD Tony with the Magnum. Note the bracing wires on the stab!

ED has my all time favorite 4*, it is the best bash job I have seen, not that I have seen many real changes to them.
I was just reading the BLACK RCR yesterday, It reminds me how much I miss RCR and RCM, the last of the really great RC magazines. I still have my clip out Just Plane Funs that I use to teach stunt flying with. Ed, you really need to write a little book about RC with a few stories about Ugo and your buds.
Your missed!

Yeh, what GB said. I too really miss Ed's stuff and the print version of RC Report. The on-line version, not so much!
