This is on board video from a Seagull Models Decathlon RC airplane. The camera is the FlyCamOne (2). After several passes the engine quit. This video shows the deadstick landing which resulted in minimal damage tot he aircraft.
I used the Super Tigre .61with a Bisson muffler, venting out the bottom. Its larger than recommended engine but in reality its the perfect size for this plane. From posts I have read it would be underpowered with the .46. An OS .55 might be a good option. The 90 4 stroke would be good but may require additional modification and weight on the tail.
what engine do you have on it?
i have ordered a seagull decathlon 40 and not sure what to use?
