Not your typical RC plane sound

[Jon.M]

I prefer the sound of the earlier three cylinder 200cc engine which was installed in the video posted by Joe.

When I flew control line aircraft as a kid my largest engine was 2.5cc and 10cc engines were huge. This has a 310cc four cylinder engine.

I would love to have a go but I just know it would all end in expensive heartbreak.

It's been done ... Pity

Thankfully, that was an early flight with a smaller experimental engine and the first video was after the plane was repaired and a bigger engine installed.

Some of the "moments of" videos on that channel show much worse endings and some more interesting near misses (scraping the tail of a large scale B-29 on short final on a raised walkway, tailwheel of a P-47 falling off on final, prop losses, etc).

Listed as a 310cc 4 cylinder 4 stroke on YouTube Chris.

Yes, you are quite correct - apologies

[ChrisHunt]

No apologies needed Chris. I must admit it was bouncing around quite a bit - more in line with a 3 cylinder but that could just be the lightness of the a/c.

Also, the "test flight model" featured in Joe's post was indeed a 3 cylinder.

Oh, well.. i only posted that to make Alex feel better.

A tragically sad end to the real GG at Reno.
