Title: What Airplane Fits This?
Post by: Christopher Root on March 28, 2018, 01:47:29 PM: What airplane would work with this? My preference: something simple and easy to build, from a kit. Looks like a K and B Torpedo .29

Post by: Dane Martin on March 28, 2018, 03:30:23 PM: Yep. I'll send you some Kansas twister plans, or something similar. I'm sure I got a speed pan and a bell crank. We can set you up real good for that thing.

High pitch prop & tourque would make the left float dig in , so easier to fly clockwise or use contra props . ;D LL~ S?P

Details. There's plenty of room in the wing.

Post by: Randy Cuberly on March 28, 2018, 07:41:31 PM: If you just want to fly for fun the "Quickie Rat" thing is about the best idea. Be aware that the engine is built to turn high REVS on a small prop and a pressurized fuel system of some type.

Might be fun but it will likely be a pain in the tushy to get together and going! There are Rat Racer and Speed folks around that can help with advice.

Bill Bischoff and Bob Whitney above would be two likely candidates to listen closely to!

Post by: john e. holliday on March 29, 2018, 01:54:45 PM: If that 29 is like the K&B 35 of the same period, the crank shaft will leave you for parts unknown if you do any aerobatics with it. It is a speed engine. D>K

Put the tank on the inside surface of the fuse. Plenty of room then.
