Maxford PT-17 with UMS Evolution 7T7-35cc 7 cylinder motor

[@aerofly2]

It’s a brave (or stupid) man that sits in front of a prop while giving it full revs!!

Odlicno

Good Job! We will share your video with our customers. By the way, the wingspan of Maxford USA 1/5 PT-17 is 77", not 51".

[@WindCatcherRC]

Thank you for sharing and thanks for the updated information on the wingspan. I'll correct that in the description.

I thought someone was going to waste it. Nice plane,nice flying.

[@patkenworthy6939]

do you still own this plane? I bought the same plane and engine from a guy in lansing Michigan about 6 months ago

[@WindCatcherRC]

This was not my plane. It was owned by a club member from the Adrian, MI, club. I don't know if he still has it or maybe you just bought it. haha I have to say it was beautiful to see him fly it and hear it run.

[@patkenworthy6939]

@@WindCatcherRC it ended up being wrecked and not repaired not very well I pulled the engine off sold it I'm putting a saito gas radial on it, and am in the process of doing dual elevator and repairing it better

[@sidneyraffo2097]

Hi, please, do you advise that engine? Did you have any problem with that engine? I will build a stearman 1/5.5 and that engine is for that scale, and I would like if that engine is a good engine, I ll apreciate your advice thanks

[@WindCatcherRC]

This was not my plane. I don't know much about the engine. I'm an all electric guy myself. I took the video at one of our local clubs. I suggest getting on some of the facebook groups or RC forums and ask for advice from those who are more educated about these type of engines than I am. Good luck!

[@pugsleymonster6557]

nice plane glad you didn't turn it into splinters :D

[@funfreq9282]

Nice scale flight! I think that engine is perfectly suited for that plane.

[@chrishaefeli9614]

im guessing he propped it over by hand a time or too before taking his electric starter to the engine. if a cylinder hydrolocked itll bend a rod for sure

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Just too cool!!!!!

[@klmelj]

Nice!!! Do you think a Saito 325 radial will be too much for this plane at 53cc? Or even the ASP/Magnum 400 (65cc). I have seen an Aeroworks fly with a Saito 325 and this Maxford seems to be on the sale scale as that one.

[@WindCatcherRC]

I honestly don't know a lot about liquid fuel motors. I am an all electric guy. I really enjoying seeing what other people do with gas/nitro stuff. All that being said, I think the motor they used on the PT-17 in this video was a little under powered. The plane had enough power for level flight, but not enough for acrobatics. I hope that helps.

[@klmelj]

Wind Catcher RC thanks and that feedback is good.

[@ssrobzoom]

Do you still have this model?

[@WindCatcherRC]

This was not my model. I think the plane is still flying at the club.

[@scotabot7826]

Awesome model, but please take those dang cartoon wheels off of it!!! Absolutely silly looking.
