the maths be hind what size engine your plane needs
Adrian Day replied to Adrian Day's topic in IC Engines
sorry all i was wrong on the engine in this model - the leo i have is a 46 and thats in my other model Link the 52 that i have for this model is a ASP S52A two stroke glow engine - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8989 Hi Peter thanks for you kind words you know your models yes indeed your are about correct when you say the wing loading is low 12.5 there about ... Im in two minds what size engine i should settle with ? being new to this all the post have been so helpful .. im getting some great feed back and i can see its a big hill to climb to getting to know all there is in this field... Peter you are not behind the times with the engine i said.. sorry i was mistaken listed in the links above are the engines i have ... i do think that this will be a little sporty with a 52 but i was thinking maybe running it a little slow and maybe just using the mid to full speeds for aerobatics either that or i may change the engine for a leo 46 and see how that reacts... maybe someone could give a little advice on what they would think best??? Here is the new picture with wing cover on .... thank you for you comment on the picture let me know you thoughts? i would be grateful for your comments be it good bad or the ugly ???

some great info the be getting on with .. and very welcomed info indeed. being new to this and having so much to learn .. great to gain knowladge from some pro's in the modeling world.. Thank you all so much for all your input i hope that the model is streamline in the none drag sence as i have tried to bring a new take on a sports model.. i do think that the front still need some redesigning but its a good start i think? first full design.. i can work well with the knowladge been given here to further my designing best regards Adrian -

thank you Tom and Martin for your comments: very simple when you put the motor value ... i wish i was good with the figures for exchange to IC will have to look that onne up ? less someone can do the maths on the motor / ic exchange ... motors are a liitle more simple in figures i should go with them really but i crave the smell / sound and addiction of engines -
Does anyone know if there is a maths equation for power to weight of rc builds ? I know there is when it comes to motors but i need one for engines? i need this to see if i have over powered my latest build - and an idea so i know how to work it out for my next one too..

thanks Richard some very useful websites and threads perfect for what i need all help and ideas for someone like me to take in i agree Andy have found finding parts that fit my designs are few and far between maybe i should build them around the parts im looking for rather than the other way round..? i think its a skill thats worth learning have made moldings before its not to hard its just getting the right plastic for the canopy where to find vac forming plastic.. thanks for the advice its all to true.. thank you Marko didnt think about trying them will have a look just hope that i can find something without having to go the long route .....I will add some pitures of the models i have made not sure what people will think of them but its a start.....

thanks steve: does it really work? and how easy ? I was told by a friend to use a coke bottle but wasnt sure on how to shape it?

thank you Richard: i have looked on some sites but all i seem to find are of a war style, So any sites would be a great help - being new to this, i have found these parts to be the hardest to come by - it may just be me - thanks again
