Title: NORVEL .074 POWERED CREATION ON 42 FOOT LINES
Post by: Chuck Matheny on October 20, 2020, 01:34:16 AM

Going from memory..
2 oz tank
CC pressure
7 x 3 APC
Rectangular wing all balsa / combat type layout.
It really was a well balanced combo for all around fun.

Hi Jim..!
Yep they really hit a home run with the Norvel .074. I don't do a lot of model engine classified ad window shopping, but I have seen NIB .074s here and there.

My .074s. Nowhere near the rocket yours is...but I love that engine! Sadly, this one died last December, ruined the muffler mount area on one engine. The other may be alright.

What a great model..!
Coincidentally I've used .074s for a couple of Twin [RC] Projects.

Thanks, Mr. Dane,
I sure miss it...outboard flame-out on the upwind side just after clearing the wheels. It rolled in on me with a good wind under wing, and I had to consider "catch it or crash it." I dodged it and saved my hands for another day. The carnage is over on CEF or RCG (bigger pics).

Chuck, sure glad I cinched the seat belts before watching your video.   Looks like a lot of fun. D>K

Hi John...It looks like fun to all except for my Yellow Lab, Clara.  To her it looks dangerous and she doesn't approve.
