Topic: What plane meets this criteria?

Phil

Just had someone on the phone giving you a BIG thumbs up 

Out of interest, do any of the larger wooden kit planes (50cc ish size) come with wings that come in 2 pieces for transport, or is this something you just do when building if you want to do it?

Cheers
Steve

Thanks to 'whoever' was on the phone 

Most of the 80" models have a 1 piece wing.......2 (and some 3) piece wings normally appear on the 100"+ models.............

It's the 80" range that is going to be most suited to your 50cc engine.....the 100"+ range is going to need 60-80cc.

Phil

Ah, the man on the phone called you his "saturday boy", lol  

So what 60 - 80 cc engine would suit the ones with 2 peice wings? Which ones have 2 peiece wings?

I was going to PM you to ask, but feel other may find this information useful too  

As with the majority of 'Warbirds'.....they all have short noses, so most builders opt for a 'heavier' engine as fitting 'useful' weight up front is seen as more beneficial than one of the current crop of lighter weight, electronic engines + lead. You'll find that Zenoah it at the top of the pile with the majority...................so the 62cc single would be a minimum, or the 80cc flat twin are the 2 that will be best suited to the 100" model with flying weights from around 32-35lb and up................

Models with 2 (or 3) piece wings are as follows.................

100" SBD Dauntless (3 piece)
100" SB2C Helldiver (2 piece)
84" & 100" Brewster Buffalo (2 piece)
101" & 115" Sea Fury (3 piece)
112" Grumman Guardian (2 piece)
91.25" Grumman Wildcat (2 piece)

If you want to see what's involved with 2 of the above, Mat (Mudflap) has just stared a 100" SBD in a thread here on RCMF, and we've just finished a 115" Sea Fury for a customer.......thread in the 'Fighteraces' section also here on RCMF)

OK, search over, picked up my new project tonight, will post some details of it over the weekend   

Thanks to everyone for their input 

Phil, I will be in touch as I beleive the one I have picked up at a bargin, couldn't refuse price is one you re-drew  Think I will need some advice on this along the way, and Walter M said he would lend me a hand with it as he seems to think he knows something about them too.
