Which aerobatic airframe for an older 3W-60?

Ialwayscrash · 08-22-2006, 05:26 PM

Guys,
I just re-engined my 33% Laser 200 with a 3w-75us and now I have an 3W-60 side carb model that needs an airframe. I know that the engine is heavy and really doesn't make much more power if any than a good 50cc but I was wondering if anyone had any experince with a 50-60cc size aerobatic airframe that usually built tailheavy so I could use this engine on it with out having to add extra weight to balance.
Thanks,Crash

I know that the earlier Wildhare 28% planes were designed around the G62 which is a heavy engine. A friend of mine put a 3W60 on an Edge and it flew really good.

That statement fits the 30% Aviation models yak perfectly. I have an evolution 58 on mine.
