Creamsicle
« on: August 14, 2006, 08:13:41 AM »
I just got done repairing my Creamsicle. I had a 40LA on it. (it was my first time out with this plane, and I have no combat engines) I am wondering what would be a good engine to put on this plane? I do not combat competitivly, but like to fly like an insane person  sometimes  n~ . I do have an old NIB Fox 36X, but wonder if I should use it on this plane.

The Creamsicle will now be a "Good-n-Plently, its black and pink, for real  **)

I guess I will be just a sport flyer with this plane  y1

Use the fox on a bladder tank nothing like a 120 mph airplane on 60 ft. lines

m) During the refuelling and the restart of the motor, and until the time when he releases the model aircraft, the mechanic must keep the model aircraft in contact with the ground by at least one point and with the centre line outside the flight circle. During that time the pilot must be crouching or sitting inside the centre circle. He keeps one hand on the ground and his handle and his lines as close to the ground as defined by the F2C panel of judges until the model aircraft starts again.

If your getting old like most of this crowd  ::) you may want to start off with a 9x6 prop as your confidence grows try a 8x7 APC then an 8x8.  :! You will be amazed how fast and easy it is to get behind then either lose sight or park it in the ground and end up with a crunchy bag of Creamsicle   %^

No, No, No!  Mk IV with a bladder and something like an 8/6 or 8.5/6 wood prop, properly thinned and balanced.  If you're lucky, you can find one of the pressure regulators Norm made to guarantee a rock solid run from start to finish.  The one I've got weighs 248 gr.(8.75 oz) and will probably hold up for two dozen high performance flights.

Yep.  The .36X would be too light.  It's also not as powerful.  If that's what you have, though, just make the nose a little long.
