'Best' model for MW54?
 

Ihave a MW54 Mk3 sitting here, waiting for an airframe.

If you could have onemodel for this (14lb thrust) engine, what would it be?</p>

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

Need more info - true scale or sport scale, fast sport or general fun flysport and budget.

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

Everything goes really, except Boomerang or Mick Reeves Reaper. Idon't have much interest in the Boomer and I've had a Reaper.

Only proviso is that it must be reasonably straightforward to build (i.e. not the Mick Reeves Venom) and must fly well. No limit on budget for the right model.

I'd just like real world opinions of models that people have had good experience with.

With the new wing, the Fox Composites Hawk would take a 54 with ease.
It would be fast!
Jo has one with a Supersport in it and i have seen them with a P60.

BVM Electra turbine. Flew BV's one at FJ and it's a mini Bandit, quicker to assemble at the field. I'm going to do one with a P60 next model. Or the Bobcat Composite.
But like Paul says, Trevor Skedge had a Fox Hawk with a P60 and that was good too.

Low cost fast build &amp; works off grass.
Falcon 120 with trailing link legs,

two flying in my club.
One powered by MW54 &amp; other by simjet 18lbs version.
Both very quick yet good slow handling.
130 yard grass strip.
I put the Simjet powered one together in a week of evenings.

PST Reaction 54? - John.

You can consider also the AD Phoenix as well:</p>

I'm looking at a Nick Ziroli "Turbinator" for mine. There is only a short kit available. You can order the plans from him and cut your own parts if you want to save money.

This is a good build thread.

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

If you can find one, you should consider a Cermark F-16...</p>

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

Or if you like to build, the Reaction 54kit from BTEmodels?

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm ideally looking for real world experience of these models (or any others). For example, Iunderstand that the Stingray is not ideally suited to MW54.

At the moment I think the Electra gets my vote.

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

hi darren i have just painted a yellow aircraft stingray and it will be powed by a mw54 i have seen them with super sports on them and they are fast a little tricky to land but one thing i will say is they are a top end kit i might see you tomorrow regards jonathan

RE: 'Best' model for MW54?
 

My vote for best model, but you will need another engine.
