OS 1.60 FX props and Hydeout

[Xavier Mouraux]

I think it is often a personal choice about engine also. This Hydeout is one of Michael Siddall's planes and it was build very light indeed. I will be careful.

I can't find the email about the stainless bearing for the 160. Is there one available ? Were and what p/n ?
Thanks

I am looking at the possibility of making it to your contest this year. It should be my first of the season. I only have to convince me to drive for 8-9 hours each ways.

  There is a sort of myth that the 1.60 is heavy. It's all kind of relative. It's close to the AC and the DZ, especially if you use a CD header on the DZ.  The Mintors and 140 RX's and Webras all have their merits. The OS 1.60 does have a bigger main bearing that is readily available. 

  Your plane is ridiculously light. Please warn flight control at Toronto international before you go vertical.

  Regards,

  Eric. :-)

  Thanks Eric,

  I noticed the same and I tried to keep the std gear and just shim it. After moving the rudder servo, the batteries and other little changes, the weight is 4.4kg or 9.7lbs and the CG looks the same as before. It meens that it will be the same weight as with the 120AC but with a 2in bigger prop diameter and the same pitch or even more. It should fly as well as before but have better verticales. I can't wait for the snow to go away...

     Xavier,
                There is quite a big difference in height with the three bolly options. I use the FAI wide. It has to be cut in the center anyway.

    Eric.
