James Thomas 2 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have just rediscovered one of these, it is in good condition, complete with Factory ally motormount,and toolkit. If I remember correctly it was an easy starting and trouble free motor.Just stay with the OS FS plug that is, didn't like any others. Are they sought after at all? I thought about building an Old Timer ( like me!!) to put it in. Its last home was a Heinkel Bi plane fighter , where it was just the job. Any suggestions? ( Not rude or sarcky please!!)

Alan Cantwell Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 seems they are more saught after than the 26, mate of mine had a clear out of four bangers recently, on advice, we asked more for the 20s--and got it!! my suggestion? flair attila, always wanted one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken anderson. Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 james as above------ build an old vintage design and put it in.... dont think it will have enough power to get a JNR 60 off the ground....but some of the other old timers will be ideal...check out Ben Buckle kit's/plans via 'google' .... ken anderson ne..1. .....old time dept.

coline Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Try a dave boddington Whisper, it was designed for the 20fs.Just beef up the fuselage where it changes section from elliptical to rectangular aft of the engine bay.I,m sure you will be pleased. Happy landings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely little thing, just like a sewing machine, but firmly in the couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding class, as far a power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Thomas 2 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks for the tip, but where do I find the plans for a DB Whisper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lubbock Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 There was a free plan for an Aeronca C1 in Radio Modeller a few years back. I think it was a Philip Kent plan & was quite large & I remember in the write up having doubts about the power but it was no problem apparently. I may still have a copy somewhere. I have seen a junior 60 fly with a 26 & it was very overpowered, so I wouldn't expect it to be a problem for the 20-the power requirements for these vintage designs are quite low compared with a modern ply/balsa/foam/composite lumps we fly around today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
