Default Re: What engine and exhaust for AW 42% extra

Thanks

You answered one question I was wondering about I think. I was on the fence whether I wanted to put the rudder servos in the tail. It sounds like they need to be up front to get the CofG in a good spot for sequence stuff.

I was going to run

2 aileron /side- 5955
1 elev/side - 8711
2 rudder - 8711

Engine I am still undecided. I ran a Da150 on K&S 1090's in my Yak 3.3m before I sold it and it was marginal to okay but not stellar in the flying power department. It turned a 32/10 Mej at around 6600 rpm which is good numbers but in the air it still was not enough. It would just pull out of a hover at maybe 1/2 mph most days and sometime not at all.

I was really hoping to make Tucson this year. First year I missed in the last 4 years. I really enjoy watching you fly Jason. I was looking forward to watching the DA vs 3W through the sequences but is was not to be and also to talk to you guys about this plane.

When you put your sold Carden through its last free style a few years ago it was exciting!

Would you be interested in sharing some pictures of your set internals?

It would be much appreciated.
