    Giant Scale Twin engine planes

    I'd wait until I got the airframe to decide on the engine. There are some nice 26cc and 30cc engines that would work well also. I got "sucked in" again because I really like how the plane looks and how it apparently flies. I can deal with fixing the junk in the kit if that's what it takes to...

    Giant Scale Twin engine planes

    I am reconsidering the esm F7 Tigercat. I talked to a couple guys who have them and they both bought the kit, tossed all the hardware and other control pieces and replaced them with good stuff and both love how the planes fly, both with 35cc engines saying they are a rocket but handle great.

    Giant Scale Twin engine planes

    I like the F7F but only if I can get it from other than ESM. Been there, refuse to be sucked in again. As for how big, I'm not sure though REAL big is out of budget range I am sure. Definitely in the 80 to 100" range and I want to stick to two non-jet engines. I've already had three guys try to...

    Giant Scale Twin engine planes

    I am thinking about a winter project and keep coming back to a giant scale twin engine something or other. Warbird is the obvious idea but not against a civilian twin either. I am not finding much in the way of giant twin ARF manufacturers so if anyone has ideas on a manufacturer, I'm all ears!

    Just a quick update. I am well into assembling the fuse, motor is on, servos and radio in, tail feathers on and those linkages made. I am adding 1/4" to the motor standoffs as the EME60 carb is right at the firewall with the included standoffs which incidentally produce the exact firewall to...
