Will this 39yr old engine fly this Giant Rc plane? O.S. FT 160 Gemini/Great planes giant big stick.

Chris fantastic match of your FT 160 the Great Planes Stick. Great flying, Jeff in LA USA

[@highflying82]

Sounds really nice miller .. well done on bringing the engine back to life 👌👍🏻

[@Blackstarr223]

You've probably already thought of it, but looking as you have room in your main servo tray- running Push/Pull cables for both tail surfaces would definitely help with balance.

[@millerrc5829]

Yes definitely thinking about that option buuuut routing pushrods and pull pull cables are my least favorite part about these things grrrrrr.

[@byBartusRC]

Very nice! I also like flying at dusk. And a looping is a way more than a take-off 😄

[@Cadillacstsv06]

Hey man, very cool plane and sweet engine for sure! Got to love multi cylinder engines, the more cylinders the better! Great work getting the plane and engine resurrected and flight worthy! Thumbs up and best regards!

[@millerrc5829]

Glad you enjoyed it Fred love the multi cyl 4 strokes👍

[@rhuffines13]

Miller , nice job its cruising right along

[@robertcovell2787]

Very cool!!! I have a 120 and a 160. The smaller one in on a !/4 scale Spacewalker. Don't know what I'll do with the 160 but it sure enough ain't for sale :)

Nice Imay have a Stik prob myself having more than a dozen! Ive a GP Giant Big Stick that started out with a Saito 120 but I happened into a nearly new 180 and a slimline muffler inversion kit but also happened into a used Eflight power 160 soooo now not sure which direction to go...

[@stevebarr9604]

That is big! My 20cc easy stick is just 72 inches and I thought it was big! I'm sure my YS 120 will pull mine really good! That's really cool man!

[@millerrc5829]

Thanks the monster wing cord on this plane really helps. it weighs over 13lbs but doesn’t feel like it at all flies super light👍

[@robertmonroe2969]

I like it! I wouldn’t mind building a big stick like that… one day

[@millerrc5829]

There really great airframes, fly well and the perfect platform for nice engines like this 160 Gemini.

[@Barty.Crowell]

I had a similar size SIG Four Star 120 running a Saito FA-115 that flew out extremely well until a FC issue took it to a terminal end... The motor seems good still and may go on my 74" Cub

[@millerrc5829]

Very cool I love the sig four star as well. I built the 40 size last winter and threw my own mods on it and it came out great. Got a great running Saito 52 up front. kzbin.info/aero/PLHP65qDvsvA7wDqpfeXrWjdedZA88ERD9&si=xI0A6qlURXkSNvSp

[@Barty.Crowell]

That's actually how I found your channel! I was looking for build videos of the 40 since I was looking at building one this spring

[@bsc9399]

Cool motor me needs one lol

[@millerrc5829]

Very much so😉

[@millerrc5829]

Don’t know if you browse e-bay or not but there are two 160s on there right now. www.ebay.com/itm/204536331440?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=np81now8RQu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=lxx7lnzgrfw&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
