I like Biplanes
So I've been having a blast with the DTFB planes and electric is great. That said, the other day I was searching through a local auction listing and saw a listing for a "large model plane" I threw a bid on it not expecting to get it, well the next day i got an email and all said I picked up this old (i think its old) balsa plane for $20. Its pretty big. The wing measures in at 76" tip to tip and is 11" wide. It appears as to have been a nitro plane but it seems really big. I bought it thinking it could be fun to throw a small gas engine on it. Is it capable of such an engine? I've built a few gas trimmer engine 20-30CC RC airboats and modded the engines a bit to be RC friend with great success and wondered if a smaller one would work for this plane. Thoughts? If all else It will be wall hanger in the basement or hang in the barn. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with it. Also, does anyone recognize the model? looks like it was a kit as there are printed notes on the balsa inside the fuselage.
Thanks!
