Fun/ aerobatic 40cc plane idea

lusk1984 · , 08:39 PM

I've been out of the hobby for some years. I have a ZDZ 40cc engine laying around and I'm looking for an ARF to put it in. Any ideas on something with mild/moderate aerobatics?

Any of the popular 35cc planes should do well.

Bare engine weight without ignition is 1300 gms for the ZDZ40 and 930gms for the DLE35ra. You might need a little tail weight, or swap from a pull pull rudder to a push pull rudder (with tailmounted servo). That would be no different than using a 40cc twin in a 78" or so aerobat which a number of people do.
