OK so I am tired of having engines over the years that were a royal paint to have run right. (With the possible exception of the OS Max 35S) So after reading the many praises abot the Aero Tiger, I fugured I break down and drop the $240 bucks for one. I understand that it is no muss no fuss plug and play.

So the question is will it be good in a Brodak Pathfinder ARF?

I Like to get it all together in time for Brodaks this year.

I suppose not, there will not be mny that put a expensive motor like that in a $99 ARF, but my siituation being transient ( Away from home most of the time and more or less living out of a suitcase) it is what makes sense for my situation at the moment. Right now it is a toss up between the Pathfinder and the Cardinal. Had a Vector 40 been there done that and I'd rather build when doing a full fuse. But as I mentioned I'm not in the position to be building right now.

The Aerotiger .36 will be wonderful in the Pathfinder. The motor is very compatable with a Bolly 11 1/4 X 4 prop and that may be a problem with the pathfinder as a tri gear airplane. I set mine up as a tail dragger by just reversing the main gear and bending them forward a tad and then putting in a tailwheel. That solves the ground clearance problem and it handles very nicely. Also the motor is a very nice match to the Vector 40 arf. Both planes fly very well though.
