Hello:

       Is it worth the time and hassle to replace McCoy .35 RH Stunt engines with a Brodak .25? The planes in question are the CG Shoestring and the Sterling F-51 Mustang.

       I posted this question in the Classified Section for some reason and got very little response. Lol

LOL. 

I am running an OS 25 in an Oriental.  It is light.  I cut off the rear NVA ala Phil Cartier and will run a front NVA setup.

    Hi Phil:

    Thanks for the reality check! Why go through so much work for so little possible gain?

    I have not tried the McCoys yet but I have run the Brodak and it is a great running engine.  What I was looking to gain, easier starting and less weight.  I would save about 1.5 oz. with the Brodak which may allow me to avoid using very little tail weight if any.  The F-51 is quite a small plane so less engine weight would be great.  I have a couple of kits for the F-51 so perhaps an old ST G20/.23 would be a good choice for those kits.

                                                                                                                   Thanks for the replies,
