- I was thinking of starting to get into gas powered flight, and one of the
- cheapest and easiest ways, I thought, would be to put a small gas engine
- on my Ridge Runt slope glider.
-
- Has anyone ever done this?
-
- I was thinking of a Cox Black Widow ('cause I like the name) but beyond
- that I'm not use what to use. What kind (size) of prop should I use?
-
- The Ridge Runt has the following characteristics (from box cover):
- Weight: 22oz (I've got 2oz of lead in the nose)
- Span: 50in
- Radio: 2 channel (aileron and elevator)
- Config: T-tail with high wing
-
- Any comments or suggestions?
-
- Thanks a bunch!
