Good 15 for carrier?
« on: April 03, 2016, 01:46:41 PM »
So, I'm out of the running this year for stunt due to a sore shoulder.  I'm learning to fly left-handed.  I figured out today that while I can't fly stunt, I can probably manage carrier.

I don't have any suitable engines on my shelf for either Northwest 40 or Northwest 15, but I do have a Flying Clown and a Ringmaster that would work (with some work).

Is there a good off the shelf 15 that can be used for casual carrier flying?  I have no chance of winning; I'm more interested in something that'll be easy to start & adjust so I can go out and have fun.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

It looks like 40FP's are more common on eBay; I'm thinking of jamming that on a Ringmaster for NW 40.

It will be a fast Ringy for someone used to stunt.   Can you say fun?
