Hi all,
I'm not exactly sure where this should go but I'll start here. I have  a Sterling P38 kit that originally called for two .15's - looking att he wing of the kit I though two 049's (cox babe bees) would be more appropriate power for this wing.
The thing I need help with is the balance point. As the kit is now it  would probably be very tail heavy. I could cut some holes in the tail surfaces and the rear fuselage and add a heavier front wheel but is it worth it.

I have a pair of norvel .061's but I think they will be two powerful for this plane.

This might be a good electric kit conversion since the battery could counter balance the tail.


Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

So go with the bigger engines and fly fast. I'll try that - 

OK - so the .061's seem to be the fit. - I thought that would be the case - the plane looks small for a pair of 15's and the box shows an old pair of fox15's which are way under powered compared to the engines nowadays.

Thanks again
