Hello all,
I picked up a McCoy .40 a while back. The price was too good to say "no," and it came in the OEM box.
I usually stick to 1/2A, and am "stretching my wings." While I do have some .15-sized kits and engines, I'm also looking ahead...way early.
So, if I enjoy my experiences with the next few upsized kits, I would like a couple of recommendations:
What prop would this engine use on a bench test?
What fuel mix should I use? Tell me low/no nitro and lots of castor. If so, I can run this thing sooner just to hear it run.
And, what full-fuse Sport/Semi-scale (or scale-like "fictional", but not replica of real) planes would you recommend to a moderately experienced builder? I do need a break from warbirds.
I don't expect to fly a PAMPA-grade pattern, but loops and inverted flying would probably be about the extent of my efforts with this engine. I would like to think I could graduate to OTS with the plane, so that limits the eras from which to choose.
Thanks in advance,
Jim in MS
