Bullethead 12 Posted March 2, 2011 It's good to see some modelers are still using gas-burners instead of electirc. I think the vapor trail of castor oil behind the planes is particularly appropriate for models of rotary kites :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted March 2, 2011 It's good to see some modelers are still using gas-burners instead of electirc. I think the vapor trail of castor oil behind the planes is particularly appropriate for models of rotary kites :). The only problem I see with engine power in models is the vibration and fuel proofing required, so that the airframe is especially heavy and overbuilt. I wouldn't attempt to model something with an engine if I was trying to capture the feel of an old kite's fight envelope. Especially if the plane is a lattice tail. I've seen far too many scale WWI models that charge around like they were WWII fighters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
