Planning the build of the next Combat Kitten and would like some advice please. First, I would like to use a .074 engine so that I can fly with a bit longer lines, more pull, and in a bit of wind if necessary. Any recommendations on this size power plant? Norvell Big Mig, Cox Queen Bee, what do you think? Also, what type of internally mounted tank should I use for the type of power plant you recommend? One can see from the attached photo of the plans section, detailing the internal positioning of the fuel tank that it may be a bit tricky. (for me at least) The attached plans photo calls for a VECO T-19 (or similar wedge tank). I plan to fly the model for fun and some stunting.
If retro type parts are the best, fine, but not necessary this go around. Would someone also please explain what a clunk tank is and why the name?
Finally, strictly FYI, my last Combat Kitten had a total weight of 128 gr. or 4.51 oz. Much of this weight comes from the Rustoleum and Clear I sprayed on the model. I would really like to try and cut the weight as much as possible next go around. What kind of total weight should I realistically shoot for this next time?
As always thanks for the advice....cheers
