    Put a Saito 4 cycle with bad timing. Would sound way cooler! :Cool:

        Simple...Find a plane with the same weight and wing span on MRC. Go to "parts" and pick out the ESC and motor for that plane. This is what I do with all my balsa/ply ARF's. Has never failed me. I prefer FMS. Doc

          By the way...Am I mistaken or was the Maltese cross used in WW1? Not the Swastika. Your WW1 plane seems to have WW2 markings. Doc

            Here's a guys advice to someone else.

            http://www.rctodayshow.com/forum/vie....php?f=4&t=364

            I also found this as a reference:

            50-70 watts per pound; Minimum level of power for decent performance, good for lightly loaded slow flyer and park flyer models.
            models

            70-90 watts per pound; Trainer and slow flying scale models.

            90-110 watts per pound; Sport aerobatic and fast flying scale models

            110-130 watts per pound; Advanced aerobatic and high speed models

            130-150 watts per pound; Lightly loaded 3D models and ducted fans.

            150-200+ watts per pound; Unlimited performance 3D models.


            I haven't done any of these so can't verify there validity.
