Has anyone built the BUSAEindecker EIII.90 version. I have a magnum .70 4 stroke and I'm wondering if that wouild be enough motor for the kit..

I would say no. It might just barely fly with a 70 and some delicate flying but this is a fairly large model and generally pretty draggy. It would be a lot more fun with a 90.

Well I have a .61 2 stroke as well that would be fine, but I was hoping to have the 4 stroke sound.

kit builder;

I use a OS120 in mine for balance would not use a 70 , 90 is marginal , mine is 4 yrs old and still flying great

The BUSA website does list the 60-class 2-stroke as the top end for 2 strokes and a 61 as the low end for 4-strokes. If you don't expect sport model performance but instead expect "scale-like" flying for example, needing to start with a shallow dive to be able to build speed for a loop, then either 70 4-stroke might do.

BTW, I feel I need to take exception to the following sentence in the description: "Our model is accurate in outline, but has been modernized!" A comparison on the BUSA eindecker with three views of the EIII will immediately reveal this as false. Both the tail and the rudder have been enlarged and altered in shape, The wing has been moved back in the fuselage (which is too short and stocky for the EIIIand more like the EII) and the nose lengthened. The model gives a nice sort of rough impression of an EIII but it is absolutely not "accurate in outline."

It's a fun model and, by all accounts, a great flyer. But I'd prefer truthful descriptions on all model websites.

I used a Saito 80 on mine with no problems, and have it on my kit bashed EIV that will fly soon. My 90 EIII flew very scale like and still had a bit of extra power to spare. It handled all the scale maneuvers just fine. Might have to dive a little to pick up speed for a big graceful loop, but it would loop from level flight too. Cruised around at an appropriate speed at about 1/2 throttle. 70 might be slightly underpowered, hard to say without trying. Yes, you're flying on the wing, which some fliers aren't as comfortable with. It depends a lot on how you want to fly it too. I'd give it a shot.

I had an OS 120 on it at first.More power than it needed IMHO. Now, if I already had a 120 or a 90, sure I'd use either.
