Took a load of trash to the dump today and scored these.Not into planes but these are friggin sweet.I got 9 foot ceilings in my place so I want to find some old engines for them and hang them up.

wow, your dump is way better than mine- I think that is awesome recycling

I scored a little red wagon at the dump a few years ago. It was almost new. Now they have a sign up that says "No Salvaging"

That's not the Abe Froman that I know

Don't mess with the sausage king of Chicago

They have a shed at our dump that you can put items in that you hope will be of use to someone. These are by far the coolest find I have come across there.Anyone tell me what size engine these puppies call for? Motor mounts are installed and a box of props and nose cones were there also.

I don't know, word around the Bears Clubhouse is you've changed, all Gluten free and soy emulsifers.

The only thing veggies are good for is wrapping in Bacon, I think we are off topic, nice planes

That's a great find, looks like a pair of Cap 232's or maybe Capiche (both great flyers), if you can give me the wingspans I could have a pretty good guess at engine size required.

Thanks for the info. I found them both online.Motor from what I seen was 46 - 70.Isthat the size?

That's correct a 60 = 0.6cu in = 10cc, I'm guessing from that engine size spec the models must be 55 - 60 inch ish in wingspan?

So if it's just to hang a prop on something like this would do you

However if you are considering flying them it's better to go to the top end of the power recommendation

Yes I just need it to hang the prop. A screwed up motor would be ideal. I have no intention of flying these.Thanks for confirming my findings.

Well that being the case why not just do it with some correctly sized threaded bar

Thats a good idea. I would like to have the exhaust stickin out the bottom but your idea would be alot easier. Thanks.
