Note, electricity turns a MOTOR, and gas or any petrol turns an ENGINE. If it needs batteries, it's a motor. If it needs gas, or some other petrol, it's an engine.
Good point, however no one today calls automobiles, "motor cars". I'm referring to the scientific acceptance of motor refers to battery operated power plants, and gasoline and other petrol driven power plants are referred to as engines. I am a retired engineer from the engineering and aviation industry. All electric planes have motors, as per Tesla, and all mechanics. "Motorcar" does go back to the 1920's, and stuck until electric motors became such a household word. I would guess they needed a definite separation of identity, so the "engine" was coined to its use. Beautiful plane you have. I have been flying RC from 1975, then received my "Private" license in August of 1978. Having owned 2 real aircraft, today retired, I fly only RC, and have recently bought my 1st gas engine, a 30cc twin. My concern is vibration, and would ask you if you have had any problems with such vibration? Thanks for your communication. I appreciate it. Happy flying from the Naval AV8R from many years past. P.S. Jets are fun when you don't have to pay for the fuel, but in the real world, it's too expensive. I believe I will stay with the prop planes for now.
Regarding the vibration issue, yes, I have a 20cc and 26cc single piston gas engine, and vibration is a serious issue. I purchased a 20cc twin for my Decathlon and hope the vibration will be less. On a fellow club member with a Bagger plane and 40cc twin, it seems that the vibration is much less. So I want to make the statement to rather buy a twin gas engine instead of a single piston gas engine. Thanks for the interesting chat. Regards, Dirk.
This is sick!

I take note, but why is a car called a motor car?
I am not sure what the difference is between the Slick 580 V1 and V2. But there surely must be some modification that was done on V2.
What prop did you use
Hi, Coenrad said he used a 19x8 prop

Hi, I know, I was actually pulling your leg. Have a great day.
