Image Comments LASTWOODSMAN 25-Mar-17 13:43 It had a Menasco "Pirate" C4 four cylinder air-cooled inverted engine, and a top speed of 166 mph. It was introduced in 1935, but was unable to pass the stringent aircraft spin tests for several years. John M Oshust 25-Mar-17 16:53 Which ,of the three power plants, did you install in this plane? LASTWOODSMAN 25-Mar-17 19:36 John - it is hooked up for rubber band power, but I can't bring myself to fly it - I should have used 1/16" wire for the landing gear instead of 1/32" wire (the free floating landing gear struts and wheel pants are not glued to the fuselage) - it's my best and largest model at 30" wing span. John M Oshust 25-Mar-17 19:49 Please permit me to rephrase the question. If your realistic looking aero plane were real, and you were purchasing one from the manufacturer, which engine would you prefer? Were all engines four cylinder? LASTWOODSMAN 25-Mar-17 20:02 There were only two engines - two prototype planes were built with the ACE CIRRUS 4 cylinder - then work was suspended between 1934 - 1937, after which only twelve Speedster planes were built with the MENASCO PIRATE 4-cyl inverted.
