Hi all,
I am looking for some opinions here: After an unfortunate series of events with my Cub (that started when the wheels left the ground this afternoon... ), I am left with an orphaned OS 70 Surpass II 4 stroke. Coincidentally, I have a Sig 4 Star 40 kit that I have been holding on to, and never built. What do the people familiar with the 4 Star 40 think of the combination of the 2?
I know the specs call for a .40 - .50 4 stroke, so this is on the large side... I am NOT an aggressive pilot, so this isn't to over-power the plane, just to make use of the engine and kit and get a new plane back in the air sooner. I was eventually going to buy a Saito .56 for the 4 Star, but haven't been able to yet (which is why I still have the kit laying around! :-)
So, what does everyone think, or even better, has anyone tried it (and the plane lived to tell about it?
My other option is to build another plane for the 70 4-stroke - I was considering the GP Ultimate Bipe (specs say 70 4-stroke will work). It is more aerobatic than I need, but it would be fun to build and fly a biplane (I think)...
Thanks!
John
