OS140RX
Looking to do some FAST A_ _ flying with this engine. Any recommendation on a sleek 120 or 140 size plane that will haul A _ _.
- Thanks, Steve C.

RE: OS140RX
Hi,
I am about 3/4 finished with rebuild of World Model Tai Ji 60 with Thunder Tiger 1.20 rear exhaust/pump/pipe set-up.
I shortened the nose about 1.25 inches to help with the CG (the T.J. had a YS 91 FZ in a previous life, so I shortened the nose to allow removal of some tail weight).
The T.J. isn't a 2M plane but it should be fun. I will run something like a 14x10 APC prop.
You might post your question in the Extreme Speed Prop Plane Forum.

RE: OS140RX
I flew the 1.20 sized jekyl with a TT 1.20 RE, I think with a 15-12 apc. It was seriously fast. In fact I sold it to a guy who was going for his turbine license and needed to prove he could fly a fast plane. I also had an excalibur II with an OS1.40. It could be fast if propped that way. Neither is in production now. But PAC carries some of the small bodied 1.20 or 1.40 sized planes.
