Model for my Medallion .09

The cox tee dee .09 is as good as the average .15 so I imagine the medallion is also a great engine.

They call the Medallion a "Sport" engine, but I think it's probably faster that the OS that's in it now, and that model is pretty quick with the OS, I hope it isn't approaching .15 power or the model is going to be VERY overpowered!

The Medallion is nice engine. OS makes very good engines. I am pretty sure that it may be lower on power than the OS. The weight saving may help so give it a try. Good luck with it. If you ever damage carb body let me know i have a couple new ones.

Thanks jaspur, I built the Viper about 4 years ago, it was the second model I built after coming back to aeromodelling after a 37 year gap. I've flown it quite a bit, after getting over the dizzyness that such a long period between c/l models caused! It's scratch-built from the old Mercury kit plan.

Thanks, Dankar, I certainly hope I never break the engine, but I'll bear it in mind.

try this for a getting dizzy experiment: cox peewee020,on a 5" wingsan, 1/8" thick sheet balsa with monokote , 6" long x 1 1/4" high x 1/4" balsa sheet fuse, 1" x 3" elevator and 1"x1" rudder.

Tail set flat , flush with the wing on the fuse, no elevator control or and ned for bellcrank.

1 single 15 ft long., 30lb test fishing line lead tied onto a stick for a "t" handle, attatched to wing tip at the leading edge. ( a hole down through the wing,2 small plastic washers and some epoxy.)

run a few tanks through that peewee and see if you get dizzy???

I flew that thing like stink in the wind for a long time
