RE: Twin Otter 125inch wingspan
Hi Lins; looks like the carb would have to stick up thru the top of the cowl or am I looking at the picture wrong. This is an even larger engine than The evolution 35cc which way overpowered the Twin Otter as did the OS200's , I believe the best engines to use are smaller if the model weight is 40# or less. I will be using 30cc gas or smaller in the spring. That Syssa looks real promissing and will try to do some testing on even smaller engines in the spring

RE: Twin Otter 125inch wingspan
Hi Tom Those are Master 16x8on the OS200's. This combination provides plenty of power at 32 lbs static thrust on the 36# plane. I never have been able to get them to run as well as all my other OS engines have run. Both change speed and mixture during flight and gave me fits landing with engine speed changing on final and during flight and always did even in the Decathlon test plane. If one can fix this, they would make ideal size and power set up for the plane at least up to 45# but for me I will replace them this winter with 26CC gas engines probably Evolution which I get along with well. I just didn't get to the lower fairings and other finish details yet . I make the lower fairings upper and lower 2 piece and bolt together over the wire landing gear with no problems just do not attach lower and upper fairings together as per the full size plane

RE: Twin Otter 125inch wingspan
Hi Guys; The planes have been built both ways, the only reason to cut the bottom stringers is to allow the gear to be removed. it's a personnel choice, I made mine removable but the gear could be built enclosed. I believe that 2 pcs 7/32 would be strong enough I used 1/4 and 3/16 as those sizes are easier to get.. The smaller block is an alignment spacer between the wire rods ( this could be eliminated if the 5 bolts were located to keep the wires in location. but this requires very precise locations when drilling) 3/16 aluminun is fine but 1/4 gives a choice to the builder of the gear if desired.
