Default Howard DGA-5 IKe"

Hi scale Flyers. New motor in the IKe" remove the Hacker A50-12L and this 8 cells. lipo., to mutch power for the IKe , change for Scorpion S4025-12 with 6S-5000 lipo. and 16X10 APC prop I pull 50amps. and have 9oo watts . with that less weight in the nose , the IKe" have better ground handling and the landing touth down improve, with less tendecy to nose down in touth down landing for a little difference in speed lost. Have a nice flight.

Really nice bird! Maybe now that you've got the power tamed the pilot will get back in the cockpit (-:

Nice airplane! If it isn't a WWI airplane then my other favorites are of the raceplanes. Don't forget to put a pilot in the office! Did you know the origionals, Mike and Ike- (they look alike!), still exist and are being restored? There is also a reproduction flying. Another fella is building a fullscale repro Folkerts SK-3 which is my favorite inline racer. I can't wait to see that one fly! Seems there are more and more fullscale repros of the raceplanes being built more than ever. Good luck with your great airplane!
