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.

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.airboatr wrote:It's been done ... PityVancouver wrote:I would love to have a go but I just know it would all end in expensive heartbreak.

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).

Yes, you are quite correct - apologies
Re: Not your typical RC plane sound
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.

A tragically sad end to the real GG at Reno.
