Hello, all :) .First-sorry for my low English :rolleyes:
So that's a story.. i made drawing from Guillows of PIPER TOMAHAWK with autoCAD, than cut them with laser, and now ready to build it;] in plan's that was cox engine, but i think i can put there O.S.max 10FP. wings size 110cm
aircraft length 67cm.Main problem, cause there is no ailerons, but i gonna make it;]
so the work begins!!! :D

use the FP10, it has more power. the LA series are good for nothing but trainers. this looks great though!

For that light plane an AP .061 wuold be more than you need,
seems that even cox .049 would do a great job....

...So, use La engine cause it is lighter(1oz or more) and still you will get overpowered palne (ading more power and weight for such a plane generates more problems than benefits)
save that fp for some realy mean machine ;D

just ...my 2c.

I'd have to second that. LA is a good, lightweight engine. The FP is better, but it's best to save it for an another plane which would actually need it.

(By the way, Nikolash, your little Cessna is one really good looking plane. ;))

10La lighter than 10FP. but quality feels of 10FP much better!.Airplane not so easy how it suppose to be so, I'll try better and lilt stronger engine.thank you guys for your attention and advices ;)

Could you send me a copy of the plans for the tomahawk plane you're building? I'd really appreciate it, I built one
when I was a kid (forever ago!) and would really like to try another one

Your cowls going to be better than stack Guillow's. More detail. It would be great if you manage to keep weight low.
