With a good pair of pilots a 50cc powered tug can tow up to 26 pound planes in a scale fashion. That said, these Kange arfs are not built for the constant rigor of take off/landing cycles, big motor stresses when you over power them and they end up weighing pounds more than the original design weight. For the long haul a larger more rugged tug designed around the motor size you are using would be better. For towing all day and flying 23-35 pound sailplanes, a 80cc to 100cc motor is ideal.
By the way Pegasus kits are in stock, had to include that… JD Endless Mountain Models http://www.scalesoaring.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Howard Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; John Derstine; soaring@airage.com Subject: RE: [RCSE] DaytonAerotow2005 Pix-reply Jack, I didn’t see anything that the Monocoupe wouldn’t tow. How big is the largest sailplane that you guys are towing?

By High, I mean Nearly overhead, No Emoanage details, and barely the Nose... I "AM" enjoying the Model. Too Lazy to put the New Canopy on though. The Wife says that its one of my better purchases, and will not let me sell it... I want bigger...LOL I de programmed the spoiler function from the "Full Flap " Function, put the spoilers on a slider by themselves...works much better...DUH !! Am in the process of gouging more lead outta the nose, to impact my slight porposing issue...seems to be working as well. The Rearwind Speedster is really turning on, now that the engine is broken in a little...I believe that the engine is way too much for that plane, and I soon will need a little larger plan form.. I am Looking at a 110" or so Wilga...or something in that arena... I do not think I have enuff engine for the Pegasus though... Keep me advised on the gear.. Later Jack -- Jack Strother Granger, IN LSF 2948 LSF Level V #117 LSF Official 1996 - 2004 CSS Gold -------------- Original message -------------- Jack; You know you are addicted to sale soaring when you fly in all kinds of weather and have fun, Glad to see the Ventus doing well. It looks good. FYI, Radomir Faltus has completely redesigned the gear to a scale articulating steel tube system with suspension. Not sure that they can be retrofitted, but I will know when I get the next shipment this week.
