mike at gator said they're finishing up the manual and it should be out in a week or so.
the US shipment ports early next week so prob still 2 weeks or so until US preorders arrive.
as stated above mike flew his on a UMS 210. he said he felt it was overpowered and recommends a 120-130cc if running a 2 stroke.
looking forward to getting mine. hoping to have it maiden ready 2 weeks after it arrives.

did some research last night and saw guys flying the tomahawk t-28 which is just slightly smaller on moki 250s with 3 blades props. so it should be possible as long as top rc didn't make the gear height too short.

You guys amuse me…….
Pancake321 in one post you say
as stated above mike flew his on a UMS 210. he said he felt it was overpowered
And in your next post
I am debating a valach 250
If the distributor says it is overpowered with a 210, why would you consider a 250?
As for clearance for a 30 inch prop, the scale prop size is 26.88 inches, so I wouldn’t count on using much more than this.
For those of you planning a radial, you are in for a rework of the engine box. The firewall is positioned to exactly accommodate a DLE111 with NO stand-offs. Any radial that will fly this Trojan will be longer than a 111. Sounds simple right? Just cut the engine box back right? Until you consider that the nose gear is mounted right at the bottom front of the engine box! I am glad I only ever planned on using the 111.

also, the dragon rc and gator rc product description pages both specifically list 250cc radials as recommended engines. so that's another reason why i don't feel it is some wild idea.
really not much for me to debate until my airplane gets here next week but i do like to have a plan in mind and stuff to research. i enjoy that part of the hobby.
im sure yours will fly well with a 111. have you encountered any issues with your build so far?

my thread, kindly take your childish comments and yourself and go create your own thread. You are clearly only interested in trolling and not contributing in a positive manner.
When you grow up let me know.
bye bye

Pancake,
according to the motor specs of the valach 250 you will not need to cut the motor box. it's only 10ish mm longer than a dle-111.
Clearly you have missed where I said there is no room for stand offs with the 111.
The 111 WITHOUT stand offs is only 166mm long and to be honest my prop is further from the cowl than I would like.
Your Valach is 193mm from mount to prop, so 27mm longer.

i definitely don't want to cut the motor box. sounds like it's not even an option with the nose wheel there anyway.
i wonder if the motor box was cut for the UMS 210 on the prototype? it's hard to tell from the pictures i posted how far the prop sticks out from the cowl. i'm guessing it was not cut and they just lived with a decent sized gap.
that prob used on the prototype looks quite large. i'm guessing 30-32".
happy assembly 👍

no actually you need to just go away troll, you have no comprehension of what is told to you and you go have a cry when it is pointed out to you. Let me know when you grow up kid.
