Here is my own design towplane.
It was originally powered by an old King 140RV, but a few months ago the crankshaft broke in the air, so now I´m in the process of installing a new 3W-210Xi TS which I got for a good price.
The engine came from another towplane built from the same kit, so changing the engine is only a matter of unscrewing the engine dome from the "donor model", and installing it on my own towplane. Then only the mounting of the canisters have to be changed.
Specifications:
Span: 262 cm
Length: 216 cm with the King, but about 10 cm shorter with the 3W. The engine dome is custom made, to length for the chosen engine, to make sure that the CG is correct without the need for any ballast.
Weight: 16,5 kg with the King, and about 18,5 to 19 kg with the 3W.
Wing area: 123,3 dm²
Wing loading: 152 g/dm² (Was about 130-140 with the King)
