New Balsa Project

Thanks Andrew,
I have a Top Flite ARF kit coming from a member, but I want to recreate my old Buster. When that time comes I will contact you . Just getting started back in the hobby at 67.

Yeah, I have engines for days that need a new home. Let me know what you want. I probably have it.

The Buster was designed with the Fox .35 in mind, most .35’s of that vintage will work just as well.

Thank you Cribbs. Is an OS25LA equal to the older Fox35s

If you own a LA .25, it would be the optimal choice to give things a go again. I love the Fox .35 but it can prove to be very problematic on the newer redesigns of the old models. Mainly due to the newer laser cut kits have very light wood. The older engines tend to shake . These newer designed kits work very well with the OS LA or FP .25's.

Thank you, I will be getting a ARF Flite Streak and was told this is the best engine. A friend has one and is making me a deal. Thanks for your input. Im 67 and just starting again what I loved as a kid.
Blessings

The ARF Flite Streak is a neat plane. It's more for the experienced pilot vs a new learner or a returnee. One ground shot and it's a trip to the garbage can. The Streak uses cardboard inside and has little to no nose strength which has it break it's nose off in front of the leading edge. When trying to repair, there's nothing to glue to. The inside of the fuse is hollow. It's built like a hollow core door. It does fly well with a LA.25. The single wheel landing gear seems to throw many a curve ball. I like them. Launch with the nose pointed outwards and the outboard tip on the ground to avoid doing a dance in the center of the circle with the LA .25.
