Fun with Nitro 2 cycle RC Plane 

AMEN!!

Absolutely

Based on the wing caps I think it was a Hobbico Avistar 40. but who knows many kits of this style seem to be almost the same.

Use your electric planes to practice engine out scenarios. Practice a bunch as that glow will get you one day

@@dustinhiett9594 Thanks for the tips. I saw it hanging from the ceiling at hobby town, it has a os40, servos, tank, no reciever and crusty monokote..I re covered the fuse, the wing is being refinished..sky raider 2 for $ 65..not bad.

@@Workerbee-zy5nx heck of a deal!

@@dustinhiett9594 🤠👍

I have finally got it tuned and the throttle cut right. No issues slowing down now

Thanks a lot!

I hope the run like new.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the model insights. I got this from a friend and we have no idea the origin of the kit.

@@dustinhiett9594 to me the way your plane fly's smooth and out line of the tail and nose wings looks like a hobbico hobbystar be the little brother to hobbystar 60 sweet planes.thanks

I found a video of the avistar and that plane has the plastic wing caps like this plane. So I think this must be a Hobbico Avistar

@@dustinhiett9594 yes I think so to,I'm scratch building one I have a good running os46la I'm building the fuselodge with balsa to keep it light ,I have wings from tiger 3 sport.should have same airfoil as the plane like yours.im hopeing to have that part done this weekend.ive Ben flying flat bottom wing planes.i think this set up when done will fly like the avistar.

@@davidking3918 I bet it will. Post up some photos or video once you’re done

Glow fuel actually does have Nitromethane in the mixture. It major component is Methanol. and of course Oil as well. and this Nitro component is why I was calling this "fun with Nitro" and or a nitro engine.

@@dustinhiett9594 yes you are correct that glow fuel has a small percentage of nitro methane 5-15% for most glow engine applications for sport flying. But calling it nitro engine would be the same as me calling my cars engine a octane engine and that I use octane fuel in it. I know people call it nitro fuel and nitro engine, because they think it’s cool! But it’s misinformation. Just like people calling RC Remote control, it’s not a TV!!! It’s a Radio Controlled vehicle ( IE: RC aircraft ) controlled by a radio transmitter and receiver via Radio Waves.

@@RC-Flight You are correct in the scientific aspect. But to keep this hobby Fun and entertaining we must find things that do this for us and the hobby. As Nitro is a part of the Fuel it is fun to try to link this hobby to the excitement/power of the NHRA. Just trying to keep this hobby fun and entertaining. Not intending this to be Misleading.

@@dustinhiett9594 OK 🙂, call it what you like and i call it by it’s given name, no problem.

@@RC-Flight I do normally call it a glow engine.😁

I have now done this very set up.!

I could help ya if you were in Houston

​@@dustinhiett9594 that would be awesome, I got a good deal down here in Mexico bought two one has the tail broken the other one is completly fine they even have al there servos. I paid 50 bucks for both

This wing is a Flat-Bottom wing.
