I just picked up a .19 lightning Bolt Red Head McCoy on the bay very reasonably and it is in great shape. I have a set of plans for a Peacemaker profile packed away in the storage container (im preparing to move) would this be a good combination, It will be a step up for me and my daughter I am a 1/2 a retread and she is just starting out we are building a few 1/2A skyrays and an Akromaster Fox 15x combo right now. Thanks T.J.

That should work OK. I've flown McCoy redhead 19's a good bit and really like them. The weight should be similar to the Oliver Tiger 15 the Peacemaker was designed for, and the power not a whole lot different. Try an 9 x 5 prop.

I agree, should be a nice combination. I really like the Red Heads, .19 thru .40.

I havent run this engine yet and was wondering how they are on fuel, I have to pick some up and run it in the stand, but I was wondering how big a tank to get. Thanks T.J.

I agree with Jim and Randy! it should be a good fit. Try a 3 oz. tank, that's what I use on my Fierce Arrow 400 with a Red Head .19. 9-5 or maybe even a 9-4 prop, and use plenty of castor in the fuel as you know.

Thanks for the info guys, I was going to build a lightning streak with a .35 next , but I dont want to scare my daughter (She is only 8 ) with to much line tension yet and and I figured this would be a good way for us to ease into a bigger plane, plus I really love the lines of it, it is a very simple yet classy looking plane. Thanks T.J. Ps. Bill I ended up buying 5 series 21 motors from that guy I got the GMA reworked one from so I souuld have a few seasons of McCoy parts now

Hi TJ,
With rings from Frank Bowman, you should be set for a few decades! ;D y1 Still, run a bit of castor to help the main bushing. A 50/50 mix should do it, probably 25% oil (?), and the synthetic should keep the ring groove cleared up.
(I gotta get some of Frank's rings, myself. ;D )
