Hello, Can anyone reccomend model size wing area for o.s. or veco 19 Thanks Rich Ivers. I like the geef. What plan should i scale it from?
I now have a Green head K$B 19 in a Swiss Miss. Had a Green head 15 in it, but wanted more grunt.
Swiss Miss is about 58in span with a fairly normal aspect ratio wing, so I guess that’s about right for a 19.A T-Bird 525 works well with those two particular engines. I have one using an OS MAX .19 with a Mattes head on it that screams. I also have a Greenless Head .23 for B Nos Gas.
Send me your email address and I will send you a list of T-Bird mods gleaned from talking to many experienced T-Bird fliers.
There are 4 pages of MS Paint drawings and a page or so of text. This will get you a T-Bird that will fly right off the board, and will survive contest flying conditions.
Send to: flydean@worldnet.att.net 🙂
A Nos gas model for the engines you mentioned should be about 500 to 550 max area. A Ramrod 600 might do if you can build it light enough. My personal choice is the Lucky Lindy standard size @ 510 sq. O’Reily -Holman sells a nice laser cut kit of it. There is a later version of the Lindy that is not Nos legal. Good Luck with whatever you choose, Thermals Glenn
Just looked at the NFFS plan service list, there is a GEEF 513 listed plan # 177 @ $8.00 that should be just what you are looking for. Thermals again, Glenn
Did a little more research and found that Klarich has a 60″ Geef short kit that includes the plans for$43.00. Check Klarich kits.com. The NFFS plan for the 513 was listed as 61″. More Thermals, Glenn
I fly one 440 Jays Bird w/an os 19 and one with a Fox 201.Great models.
