Cox .049 baby bee
« on: October 24, 2012, 07:30:18 PM »
I've seen a 20min RC build on Utube using corrugated plastic and a Cox .049 to power it. This got me thinking (I know it's R/C!), what are my chances of building this 20" wingspan biplane using my old, but not expired 1cc DC Spitfire instead of a Cox as it's only .2cc bigger?

Any thoughts?????? O:-)

Thoughts? Yes! Go for it! If you don't try it, you'll never know or learn anything from the experience. It's not like you have a lot to lose, is it? Well, that was the thought I had, anyway.  H^^ Steve

PS: A link to the UTube vid would have been useful. Some of us might assume that the DC Spitfire 1cc was a diesel; some not so much. Be sure to post pictures of your creation and if/how it flies.
