Default Where did you put your G-26?

I have a G-26 w/E.I. redone from Ralph's Ignitions and want to put it into something other than a Cub or Biplane. Any suggestions? For a Mid-wing plane should I be looking in the 10-12lbs. range? . BTW : It came out of a H-9 Taylorcraft. Thanks Mykel-T

Put it back in the Taylorcraft, well maybe that's just me, I can't get enough of mine

What about the new Sundowner from H9?

I do not own one personally, but I have seen one H9 showtime fly with the G-26, looked to be a nice combo. Don't know if it will 3-D, as the owner mainly flies pattern. I use an MVVS 26 for the funtana 90 and now for the FuntanaX100, I think you can get away with almost any 90-120 size plane on the market easily using that engine.

Ouch, know that feeling, got caught the same way couple of years back, tried to fight it back in the air but had to ditch it as it was getting too close to the pitt area. Took some balsa bashing to get it back in the air but well worth the effort in the end.

Last outing the strut attachment plate to the gear snapped, on both sides!
I'm pretty sure one of them had gotten tired from getting mangled in the crash couple of years ago but the other was new(well 5 flight hours old). Bring on the metal bashing

mykel,

Get a Hangar 9 1.20 Ultra Stick, been around for ever. I had one for two years with a G-26 and it was the perfect Plane to learn how to Hover. I didn't care what kind of wind we had, I could land, take-off and Fly that Plane like crazy. Someone bought it at our Club and they continue to Fly the snot out of it.

Didn't think about the Ultra Stik, mate has one with OS 1.20, plenty of horses, unlimited vertical pull. I think Ward might be on to something

Wow that Monocoupe is a tad bit on the heavy side $$$$$$.$429.00 I guess it's worth it.

As a rule, should the G-26 fly any aerobatic 120. size plane.

BTW: I tried to fit it into that little cowl of a Great Planes Super Chipmunk....got so frustrated I sold the Chippy!. a real Cowlectamy for sure. Mykel-t
