Control Line With Diesel

I don't think so and if it does not well.
I calls for a .15-.19 so no

If figured that my McCoy Diesel put out way more air than my OS Max 15 FP so I was curious whether it was worth a try.

Okay try it but just cause its diesel don't mean it is more powerful than a same sized glow!

The surface finish on an EP may not tolerate diesel or any other liquid fuel. I wouldn't try it to find out.

EP?
This is not electric.

This guy flies a deisel Akromaster. He's a pretty friendly dude if you want to ask him questions. He knows me by YouTube name Rastus10 if you want to tell him who sent you.

In my opinion the answer is probably yes, but not very well! If you only want to stooge slowly round in circles on short lines it would be OK, but any manouvers I'm afraid you must forget.

Size for size a diesel gives more power than the equivalent glow, but the glow usually has it on RPM (I'm talking standard engines here) you can't really put an .09 (1.5cc) engine in a model designed for .15 to .19 (2.5cc to 3.5cc) you're talking almost half the capacity.
There are MANY models around for an .09, and, let's be honest, most profile stunters look VERY similar, pick one of them!

I too know Peter,
He has a great diesel collection and the engine on that plane was a .15 MARZ.

I agree. While I do have an .061 powered R/C model that is approximately the same span and area as the Akromaster that does fly well, it is lighter and not pulling a set of lines around.

The Akromaster is a nice plane, but for doing anymore than Ivanhoe posted, you'll need more engine. Look at SIG's Buster or Shoestring kits -- these fall more in-line with your engine size.

Keep in mind that C/L stunt planes are not designed to be flown at high speeds, but rather at a slower consistant speed. To achieve this, engines are chosen to turn a larger diameter, lower pitch prop. This allows the plane to be flown thru the verticals with little loss of speed because of the greater "pulling power" associated with greater prop diameters, i.e., it moves a greater volume of air, albeit at a lower velocity.

I don't think you find the Akromaster as much fun as you will a smaller plane given your current engine.

If I were you I would do a baby ringmaster.

Brodak makes a 1/2A Pathfinder/ Walter Umland makes a short kit of WeeDuper Zilch. They would work with McCoy .09 Diesel.
