What engine to put into rc airplane?
hey guys. i have a phoenix models funstar 3d airplane. i was thinking of an engine to put in it. i have a thunder tiger .40 two stroke engine. would this have enough power for the plane? Im not wanting to do lots of aerobatics. i like to fly rc airplanes relaxed. Note: the plane's wingspan is 52.7" and it weighs about 4.4 pounds. any advice?
Your existing engine is listed on the instructions as the minimum power engine to use. You should be fine using it, just make sure you get the motor mount correct to prevent the engine from being crooked.

It will work. You may find you cannot do some 3D maneuvers, but you will be able to putter around and do simple stuff like loops.

you can always use the same engine you were advised to last week when you asked the same question. The TT .40 will fly this plane fine.

RC planes are usually designed for .40-class 2-stroke glow engines, and often fly best with engines from the lower end of their recommended ranges a .40 cubic inch engine will work fine with a “40 size” trainer. Many R/C planes as well as helicopters have names that contain a number. That number designates the class of engine which is required. Hope you find it useful.

Yes, you can use a .40 two stroke engine for a phoenix models funstar 3d airplane. I have also used a two stroke engine for my RC plane but I got the engine from Scale Area. If you need any accessories at reasonable price you can make use of.. http://scalearea.com/
