Its a vintage plane so i have a mills .75 diesel so no throttle is needed. Yes im thinking the same think i will look down another route. Thanks.

Thanks for all you feed back I decided to go for the Vic smeed Tomboy. It makes sense that's what the motor was intended for .

Hello everyone . Has anyone used or not recommend using a CARSON REFLEX STICK 2 TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER SET 6 CHANNEL 2.4GHZ. I'm building a vintage plane nothing special free flight but with rc control 2 channel . It's what I call middle range but everywhere I look I see people using it on tanks boats and trucks . But doesn't say I can't use on a plane. Should I keep clear of this item or say sod it .it will be fine.

They all look great 👍 . Jim how does she fly ? I have one avalible thats why i was thinking this design was just worried about the weight . I May have to build them all then choose . Think it will be a toss up between Vic smeed and gipsy

Hello all i'm new to the forum and wanted to know what you think of my idea . Im returning back to the hobbie after years . Now im 40 and want to take on a project. when my grandfather died i recived a mills .75 that he purchased in 1957. I remember when i was a child strapping it to the garden gate and starting it up with my fathers assistance. And letting it run until the gate shook to bits. So in his memory i want to build a free flight that he used to build but with rc control. I was looking at converting a Keil Kraft Gipsy . Was thinking vintage style with a twist i understand that it will need a bit more strength. But was thinking the wing span and should be good for this size motor . What do you think?
