Engine?
 

I have recently purchased a VQ models a-t6 texan and am currently deciding what engine i should use to power it i already have an o.s la 40 but i would rather use a 46 or even better a four stroke the kit recomends a 52 four stroke anyone want to suggest some options
thanks

RE: Engine?
 

Every scale model I fly has a four stroke.
O.S. Engines has a nice .52 four stroke, had one in my Super Stearman.
I never tried the Magnum, but a lot of people like them and they are a lot cheaper to buy.

A 46 size 2 stroke will fly it pretty scale. A 52 four stroke may be a little underpowered. When I swap my .46 2 strokes for four strokes I find that a 70 to 80 size 4 stroke works best and has a nice balance of power for the plane. When I tried anything less, the planes always seemed under-powered. BTW, I only use Saito's and OS (both 2 and 4 stroke) so power wise they are pretty good. Also, if you want a good 2 stroke for that plane, try an OS 55AX.

Just my 2 cents.

went to the hobby shop and found out that a muffler would b 100 bux and the enggine would b too small so i ordered a magnum 52 which is supposed to b a good engine as i couldnt afford the os
