Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / August 2009

A while back I posted a question about four stroke motors, as I was planning
to scratch build one.  I'd no intention of flying the thing (see link)

but simply to see if I could actually build something that runs.  Lots of
learning along the way,  but with new confidence started to plan the build
of a .60(ish)  v-twin four stroke.   The design is supposed to be able swing
a 12x6 prop at 8000 rpm,  so not a screamer,  but what sort of model?

Here is one of these engines I found on Youtube:

All I need now is workshop time (the last took nearly two years!), hopefully
get this done for next summer.

I'm thinking of something like an Eindekker or DVIII   as a sport scale?  I
haven't flown RC in many years,  and would intend to find a local seasoned
flyer so model choice needn't be restricted by flying skill (I prefer
building...)

So you seasoned flyers what would you do with a .60 v-twin at the lower end
of the power output range?
