I'm new to RC planes and impulsively bought 3 RTF planes w/ radios. One is a typical trainer plane only larger (96" wingspan), with a KB 61 engine which I intend to get my feet wet with.
The second is an Ace R/C Big Bingo in good condition and I'm hoping someone can tell me a little more about the engine. It says "A&M Aircraft" on the crank case and I'm guessing from the info I've gathered that it is a 2.0. Hopefully someone here will be able to tell me more.
The last plane has an O.S. 91 engine, a 70" wingspan and is in perfect condition, but I don't know the make or model. Hopefully someone here can enlighten me.

I want to sell one of the last two planes and try to recoup some of the money I spent, but have a few questions before I do something I'll regret later. Which plane would I be better off keeping, and what is a fair asking price for these planes if I decide to sell one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A Big Bingo and an old 2cid A&M make a cheap flying sport combo. Will it hover and torque rolls NO, will it do most aerobatic moves and fly a weekend on a gallon of gas yea.
Recommendation?? sell the oddball. Learn to fly the trainer, then sell it. Keep the Bingo

Thanks for the advice. That is kind of the direction I was leaning and wanted an opinion on the planes.

I think I've decided that the yellow plane is an ACE R/C Bingo (just a smaller version of my Big Bingo).

Or, you could sell the Sachs to me

If not mistaken A&M was bought out by Brison.

A member of our club has the same engine as you have there and likes it well enough. It does have the older O.E.M. ignition on it with mechanical advance and a rather large ignition box. I see yours is already updated to a CH unit.

I believe A & M used the Sachs based cylinder engine

A&M was indeed bought by Brison R/C Engines, and did use the Sachs head. When Brison bought A&M one of the first things they did was change the manufacturing process for the crankshafts, improving them immensely.

One of the nice things about owning one of the older A&M engines is that Brison will still work on them and still has parts for many of them. Converting them over to newer, more reliable ignition systems is a snap.

Do you have any idea what a Sachs A&M 2.0 with Walbro carb is worth purchased in 1991, right out of the box and never used?

Maybe $100.00,
