Default dumb question but i don't know

I have a rcgf 26cc and a funtana .40. Has anyone ever seen that combo? Is it even possible? Will that fit/fly? Is that motor too heavy? etc etc.....yoyr thoughts but be nice...I'm obviously new at this! Thanks!

Well your rcgf 26cc weight is a round 40 oz and a OS 46 is a round 10 oz both with out the mufflers.

I have not seen this combo befor. Even if you can get the CG close to the right point the wing loading is going upside down and make the plane like fling brick.

Lets see what the experts have to say. just my 2cents

A 26cc would be better suited for something much larger say in the glow .90 to 1.20 size.

Put it on the Funtana 90, 100, or 125.

+1
A 26cc will swing an 18" blade with ease. Your ground clearance will be as big an issue as the excess weight
Heavier planes only make bigger holes in the ground
