Title: Blue Bird kit questions ?
Post by: Rob Killick on April 28, 2007, 08:01:16 AM
Hi ,

I've purchased a Charles Mackey's "Blue Bird" kit and was wondering what engine it might fly best with ?
Ireally like Mr. Mackey's designs ...

Very "Classic"  y1

Thanks

The original had a Fox 29, and i think i would go with a LA 25 these days since the fuel tank compartment is kinda cramped.

I have a 1957 Fox 25 (19 case) in my scratch built one.

Hi Rob: Got rid of all the snow up in the frozen tundra ? Like Bill said the LAS 25 or the Brodak 25 would be great also. I really like my kit from RSM also, will get to it someday soon I hope.

I totallyu forgot about the Brodak 25! OOPPPPSSSS!!!!!!  It should be a perfect match for the Bluebird. y1

I haven't seen one of the Brodak 25s yet......... :(

The Bluebird should fly pretty good, and it bears a great resemblance to the later Lark fom Charles.  I need to decide on a color and spray mine! y1

Hi fellas :)

Thanks for the info ...

By the way Lee , the "tundra" is starting to turn green and should be ready by June to swallow up some "figure 9's"  ;D
