And if you want to minimise drag you could mount the motor at the rear of a modified power pod and fit a folding pusher prop or mount a lower Kv motor with a larger, more efficient, prop directly to the fuselage at F1

A 6x3 or 6x2 prop should be suitable, don't forget to check the current draw with an ammeter. Also make sure that you get the angle of the power pod correct to minimise trim changes from motor on to motor off.

An .049 engine will give you anywhere between 50 and 100 watts depending upon the exact engine, prop and fuel used. Looking at the Outerzone plan it shows the motor mounted on a power pod above the wing which, presumably, is reason for the prop diameter limitation. The model weight is up to 2 Lbs so 50 watts will give a very gentle performance, with 100 watts it will be a bit more enthusiastic. For a 6" prop you will be looking for a motor of around 1800 to 2200 Kv running on a 3s battery. Something like this: https://sussex-model-centre.co.uk/products/xxd-brushless-motor2212-2200kv?srsltid=AfmBOor4kYBG57DMNtqx48Ey7xmNyYtm1Ld9BPA7Ac5GJ0xg_U0j7BL- A 15A rated ESC should be adequate and provide enough current to drive 2 small analogue servos for rudder and elevator. https://www.4-max.co.uk/4m-hesc15aV2.html

And if they are talking about alcoholism they use a bar chart.

Many years ago a fellow club member had a Super 60 with a 60 glow 2 stroke in it. A fast low pass resulted in the leading edge of the wing lifting. The wing didn't break but the rest of the model did as it performed a very tight loop into the ground.

Sprout Vindaloo with 10 pints of Guinness?

And after 6 glasses of wine both bookshelves have assembled themselves but next day one of them has disappeared.

Kelvin thought he was older still!

One of my PCs is still running Vista!

Watch out for yellow snow in the bottom of the fridge!

Holy King? Didn't know autocorrect had a Christmas setting! I presume they're being replaced with no charge 🤣

According to the seller on Etsy, this is a "Vintage Model Jet Engine by Kavan to fit Remote Controlled Jet Aircraft".

It's not worth the risk/the effort, it's a dead parrot, it's a stiff, bereft of life, its run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! Get a new one from Notlob.

I said "let there be light" and there was light.

Cox TD............... Totally Deaf?

Early 1974 at the Kursaal Ballroom in Southend.

I guess it must have a built-in motion sensor🤣

This has just happened to me: You know you are getting old when your smart watch/ fitness tracker buzzes and tells you "congratulations, you have reached your daily fitness goal" .............while you are sitting on the toilet 🤦‍♂️

I blame a Hawkwind concert in the 1970s, I was standing at the back of the hall with my fingers in my ears, had ringing in my ears for 2 days after that, there were people standing by the speakers who are probably totally deaf now.🤪

That explains it, the wife says my brain is idle most of the time!

I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. It's a pure tone at approximately 7kHz. Had it so long I don't really pay any attention to it.

Reminded me of a time, about 25 years ago when, following redundancy, I got a job working in the Christmas department of well known department store (the one that used to pride itself on customer service). One day, a very nice middle-aged woman came back to return a Christmas decoration comprising manger, figures, animals etc. "Certainly madam" I said, "would you mind telling me why you wish to return it" (not that it mattered, at that time company policy was that the customer was always right). "Well", she said, "when I got home, I found that I was one King short of a nativity". "Really madam! You don't look stupid" was the reply that came to mind and would probably have resulted in instant dismissal had I said it !😇

She got the bit between her teeth, came up with that "on the hoof" and just couldn't rein herself in?

By my reckoning that's 5 megakits per second download speed.

I had this in my youth, some interesting things can be made. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296877083957?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uESrZvHdQqa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Sk0SephoTwu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
