Sussed it ! I put sixty . Thanks for everyone's help Matt

Thanks , I'm still finding my way around this forum . Sorry

Pete , that is most strange . When searched never got any near that amount of threads . Thanks for helping il have a read through them later . Also once I got the kit and start to build . Where would be best place for a project thread ? Matt

I understand what you are saying beb, I have tried using search bar at the top of the page and have found does not allways bring up what you are searching for . Is it quite sensitive with key words ? Example if searching for " what engine to use in a super 60 ?" I have searched for this and came up with nothing , but just put in " super 60 "'and found 4 threads . I would of thought would of been more on the super 60 from the impression I get it is quite a popular model . Am I doing something wrong ? Matt

Dennis I'm just asking questions more for gaining knowledge when the time comes . I'm going to be slowly building a super 60 to keep myself occupied which would be my 2nd plane and get a cheaper rtf while building as I will be taking my time and gives me something to do in spare time during rubbish weather . I know a few has advised me to buy a artf to begin which I taken on board but no point buying until met with local club , until then I just want a project to start building . Otherwise might have to start build rubber band powered ones  Ah I see will be in the info you get with an engine . Cheers , matt Edited By Mattb5m on 26/01/2016 11:09:58

What fuel is used in 4stroke ? Been told it's less oil but what exact oil content to nitro do people use ? Matt

That's good , as been looking at the mass build and looks rather daunting for a beginer . But expect once I built a beginer kit or 2 would be fine . How essential is it to have the engine while building or can I leave towards the end ? Matt

Ahhhh yes , nose down into the ground on landing ! Was browsing and found some plans for another plane and was wondering does the Ben buckle super 60 come with detailed plans for a beginer regarding what parts to put in before fully assembling the fuselage like the servos, linkages , where to route cables and same for airlerons servo and linkage, hinges etc . Does the kit come with bits like fuel tank , fuel line , hinges , servo linkage etc ? The plan I saw was a drawing and not too much detail about fitting out and the build detail seemed basic . Last thing I want to be a duck out of water ! Hope as I go along I will do a build thread so others can see my progress and for myself others to guide me as I'm sure il get stuck in places or not understand the drawing . Matt

That's the only thing I noticed is the price for a small engine , when you say an arrival what do you mean ? Is there any cheaper engines out there ?

Something like this ? **LINK**

Ahh yes I'm thinking on 2 stroke Stihl engines , slightly different. So a .40 4 stroke would be ideal for a trainer ? What would be equivalent to a .35 2 stroke then ? So much to learn but slowly taking it in !

Mine is a quick release one , have to say modern casting is not as good as used to be . Finish looks cheaper . Matt

  This is my one at work the one I got is bigger and older . Edited By Mattb5m on 25/01/2016 12:47:22 Edited By Mattb5m on 25/01/2016 12:48:03

Darren I have a set of vernier calipers my redundant analog Moore and Wright ones from work ... Gone digital now . Frank , still exactly how a 2 stroke lubricates , so for a 4 stroke less oil content in fuel , can you get s .35 4 stroke engine ? While looking at engines does the .35 regard to the horsepower? Matt

That just gave me a thought , how does a rc plane 4stroke engine work to a typical single cylinder 4 stroke ? Guessing it does not have a wet sump ? Does it still run on nitro fuel or plain unleaded ? There are 2 stroke engines in horticultural equipment that has valves in just to confuse us . They still run on a 2stroke mix but go through the 4 stroke cycle , surpossed to be more eco friendly regarding emissions . Matt
