Hi, please, do you advise that engine? Did you have any problem with that engine? I will build a stearman 1/5.5 and that engine is for that scale, and I would like if that engine is a good engine, I ll apreciate your advice thanks
This was not my plane. I don't know much about the engine. I'm an all electric guy myself. I took the video at one of our local clubs. I suggest getting on some of the facebook groups or RC forums and ask for advice from those who are more educated about these type of engines than I am. Good luck!
Nice!!! Do you think a Saito 325 radial will be too much for this plane at 53cc? Or even the ASP/Magnum 400 (65cc). I have seen an Aeroworks fly with a Saito 325 and this Maxford seems to be on the sale scale as that one.
I honestly don't know a lot about liquid fuel motors. I am an all electric guy. I really enjoying seeing what other people do with gas/nitro stuff. All that being said, I think the motor they used on the PT-17 in this video was a little under powered. The plane had enough power for level flight, but not enough for acrobatics. I hope that helps.
This was not my plane. It was owned by a club member from the Adrian, MI, club. I don't know if he still has it or maybe you just bought it. haha I have to say it was beautiful to see him fly it and hear it run.
@@WindCatcherRC it ended up being wrecked and not repaired not very well I pulled the engine off sold it I'm putting a saito gas radial on it, and am in the process of doing dual elevator and repairing it better
im guessing he propped it over by hand a time or too before taking his electric starter to the engine. if a cylinder hydrolocked itll bend a rod for sure
It’s a brave (or stupid) man that sits in front of a prop while giving it full revs!!
I thought someone was going to waste it. Nice plane,nice flying.
Good Job! We will share your video with our customers. By the way, the wingspan of Maxford USA 1/5 PT-17 is 77", not 51".
Thank you for sharing and thanks for the updated information on the wingspan. I'll correct that in the description.
Odlicno
Just too cool!!!!!
nice plane glad you didn't turn it into splinters :D

Wind Catcher RC thanks and that feedback is good.
do you still own this plane?
I bought the same plane and engine from a guy in lansing Michigan about 6 months ago

Do you still have this model?
This was not my model. I think the plane is still flying at the club.
Awesome model, but please take those dang cartoon wheels off of it!!! Absolutely silly looking.
