Re: Engine choice
You'll enjoy flying the larger .35 powered planes with 400 sq. in. wing area or more on 50 to 65 foot lines. They do 5 second laps, but being heavier with a little more tug on the lines, can handle greater wind speeds than the half-A's. Plus, you'll experience s smoothness in flight control plus a longer duration glide once engine cuts.1975 control line guy wrote:Thanks, I will give the Testors stunt prop a try next time with a piece of fuel line bushing. When your used to a 5-6 second rotation and then your first 3.5 second rotation takes you by surprise it can be unnerving It was also my first time flying under the lights last night too.
John has an older Fox Stunt .35 mated to a 42 inch span Ringmaster. He's allowed me to fly it, uses it to teach others. Once you try it, you'll wonder why you didn't do that earlier.
The half-A's are great, I learned on them. They gave me the most bang for the buck early on. But things get even better with the bigger ones.
It's a whole new world of fun.
