Hi,

I have build a Lanier S600 from modified plans, and is a very nice plane to fly!

I love mine, if you keep the weight low is a nice platform.

now I want try to use the DA85 (I have alredy one)

here is a photo..

one 5955 each surface should be good, mine with one 8711 per ail. roll like a foamy!
(and I'm going to replace the servos whit 5955 on ail e stab and leave the 8711 on rudder.)

I run a single A123 2300 pack to the recivier (JR RS10DS) thru 2 HD swiches

Have a fun!

The plans shows a Zanoah G80 Twin. I have never used that brand but I hear it is a $800.oo brick. So I am using a Da-85. Although I am not sure about vibrations out of a big single engine.

Thanks for sharing the info and pics

dont worrye abaut the vibration, I think the DA85 is a very smooth powerplant, and also you are a lot lighter than with the ZG80...(and you have a lot of extra power too!!)

[Baker]

Well I have been thinking of a DA-100 insted of the DA-85.

[gapple12]

Go with the 85. Lighter and same power as the 100.

[meloni.racing]

I agree!!

[Baker]

If the DA-85 and DA-100 is the same power but the DA-85 is less weight and less money. Why would they even bother with the DA-100?

Baker

[meloni.racing]

well, I think that a DA100 on stok muffler makes a little more power than the 85 on stock muff, but is havier than the single.

But now we are shure abaut one things: DA 85 + KS1090 = LOTS OF POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and still light too..)

by the way I think for that airframe actually the DA85 is the best choice, specially if you need to keeps the weight down..

HAVE FUN!!

[Baker]

Well here is what I was looking at. If I lose this plane then I wanted to build an AeroWorks 100cc Yak-54 and fly her with unlimited power! I do not think their Yak will fly at its best on a DA-85. For this one I was not worryied about the little extra weight because I know she will not 3D Well

Baker

[meloni.racing]

I dont know abaut the 100cc yak, but on the 100cc extra there ate a lot of good results whit the 85+KS1090 (see in the DA85 on pipe forum in gas engine..)

feel free to buy the 100 (specially in the new version, lighter) but for the 33 to 35% plane the ultimate choice (power to weight ratio and less $$ too) I think is the 85

Have Fun!
