Default Re: Katana v2 70 with YS Engine

the .75 will fly the plane fine. Wont have ballistic vertical, but it will be enough I think. Mine with a ST90 hauled arse, so the .75 will be just fine.

PS. this is a .70 size airframe.

This is what happened to mine when the ST flamed out in a low hover..

Come on John; you don't put a slab together for it to be just fine, you do a slab to be "off the hook". If it has to be a 2 stroke I wouldn't go any smaller then a 91FX, the 120 would be "lookoutkids". I'll tell ya one thing, that 75 would never be probro approved.......................................... ........................

The question wasnt whats the best engine for this plane, it was "I have a .75, will it be enough." To get a 'bro' flying, you better believe its enough. When you can afford it get a .90 2 stroke, or a 100 4 stroke.

I would probably put a Saito 180 or at the minumum a OS 160 on it. That should make it come to life.

Was flying my Kat 70 with a MVVS 90 2 stroke. Never managed more than a 5 minute flight before the engine would cut ! Did any of you have problems with engine vibration, causing bubbles in the tank, causing the engine to cut ?

I tried a YS110 on mine and I could never get my YS110 to run right on the airframe due to how thin the airframe is. I switched the YS to my Fusion and the YS ran perfect. I put a OS 91 2 stroke on mine and it did great!
