I was unsure about converting the 30cc echo petrol engine to suit but the modifications afforded an excellent fit on to the un-mounted firewall.
As a strimer engine it looks unsuitable with a bulky frame, but this removes
easily with a hacksaw. Any doubts I had were soon put to rest with the RPM
checked turning a 19X6 wood at 7k complimenting an effortless first flight. Plywood spars added to top & bottom wings for added security with the additional engine weight.
Petrol Hubs made to order.
Scale detail: 1/4 scale Pilot provided by AH Designs riggings from elastic cord (affords quick assembly) exhausts from rolled news paper. Wing braces from hard balsa, sanded to shape and coated with wood stainer. The Cockpit detail thanks to Grant. |
