Thanks for the reply jerrysu31, I think I will go with robart retracts but the engines I would like to go with gas maby g23's I am not sure yet. What was the weight of your 310 ,how well does it fly on one engine, I hope it flies well for the amount of sanding and carving it will take to get it ready to paint

G23 flys a Nosen just fine.. Here is a page that shows one that
has been flying for a while..
http://www.clevelandrc.com/pilots1.html
As with anything keep the weight down.. If one goes crazy with
adding things then weight goes up and performance goes down..
The original kit calls for .60 / .90 as a simple four chnnl plane... I
have seen .90's flying a Nosen 310 well, not as a hotrod, but
more like a Sunday flyer..
Do a search in the giant scale forum and also in the giant scale
for sale forum and see what most people use...

I'll agree with you on your engine sizes,but like I mentioned altitude with a plane this size and weight plays a major factor in location of where it is being flown.Bring that 310 with 90s, or G23s that flies like a Sunday flier in Chicago or cleveland(890Ft) Elevation approx. 592 FT.O'hare Int. Ft MSL on it up here in the Mnts states,Elevations where I'm flying Avg. 5,000 to 7,000 Ft. MSL (above sea level) and I'll guarantee all you,ll do is taxi up and down our 600 Ft runway. with the bigger engines we run they actually fly similar to Yours with the smaller engines at the lower altitude. With our big twins at these higher alititude's. another thing we pay close attention to is our Density Altitude on a hot humid summer day!!!!
Happy flying!!!!
Happy flying!!!!

I have a Nosen 310 framed up about 90%, and have a pair of Saito 120's to be installed for power. I also plan to use a set of (older) Aeromarine electric retracts, with Likes Line motors replacing the old ones.

I have a Nosen 310, I bought it used with no engines or radio. The previous owner said he flew it OS 120 FT's( twin cyl 4 stroke), but I did'nt get a clear answer on how well it flew with one engine. He simply said don't turn into your dead engine. So, I installed 2 Saito FA 182T's (twin cyl 4 stroke) in it, they are 2.8hp each. I don't anticipate any problems on our short grass runway with trees at each end. I have'nt flown it yet, but I do expect it to be over powered. :boxing: I also redistributed the weight and eliminated about 2 lbs of nose weight, I'm at about 30 lbs dry, maybe less.

310
I recently accuired a 310 from a friend. Needs a LOT of tlc, but I am going to power it with Ryobi's that I am converting.
I corosponded with a flyer on the web, who powered his with YS120's. he had added a ton of scale detail, full interrior and retracts. he said his flew, but was lacking on power.
Im not going for the scale detail, and no retracts probably.

mnc....
I know a guy and his son who each have a 310. One is powered with OS 120's and the other with G23's. The G23's fly the plane much better and sound better too. Thier friend is finishing one and is putting the new G26's on it. I have one in the box and am putting G23's on it. Here in S.E. Minn, they work great! Plenty of power for it. I believe they used Robart retracts on all of them.
Good Luck....

310 retracts
I ordered a set of Century Jet retracts for mine, and I don't think I can make the mains fit. How are you guys getting the retracts and wheels to fit in the wing?
The plans call for 3 3/4" wheels, but measuring a full scale plane, they should be 4" nose, and 5" mains (~1/4 scale). I measure about 2" max wing height at the axle centerline, less at the rear of the wheel. This isn't much room for a large retract and wheel. I could go down on wheel size, but still don't see it fitting. Robart retract frames alone are 2 1/2 inches high. I feel like I'm really missing something here.
