Default new to gas

I have a few questions I have a evo 26gt and I am putting it on a pt 19 will it be enough for the plane it had a zenoa g23 converted to glow wich the first owner put on it he had trouble with it, also I am useing a pcm reciver with this set up do i need to get digital servos or will analog work fine, do I need a pressure fiting on the exaust, I dont think I do just want to make sure, any other things I might consider that I have not mentioned any help would be great.

I had the same converted G-23 on my Hanger 9 PT-19 several years ago. It had more than enough power, so your E-26 should be fine. No pressure fittings are needed for any gas engine. I don't know who's PT-19 you have, but be plenty high if you like to spin, because mine did not recover well..........not at all the last flight............

I am not sure either , but it was an arf I do not plan to do any radical things just have fun flying it I have only been flying off and on for three years I have several .40 size plane this will be my first very large plane I stand about 5foot 8 and the plane with the engine mounted part of the tail is above my head and the wing span is just as long. I wll be starting with a 16/8 prop will that be enough I will also have a 24 oz gas tank mounted in their that should give me plenty of flight time. I will be running a 4.8v 1500mah for the ignition as I do not have the gt2 iginition. and a 6v 2700mah for the reciver and servos. I also have the on off switches seperated the ignition is at the front and the reciver switich is in the rear of the plane.

Analog servos will be just fine. An exhaust pressure fitting is not needed. Gas engines have a pump and do not use a pressurized tank. If the plane had a converted G-23 before your 26 will be more than enough.

16x8 prop is good to start with. That's what I had on mine.......you may try a 17x7 at some point. I generally fly for 10 minutes and land.......24oz wil probably give you 2+ flights with some reserve. Pat is correct...analog servos are fine with a PCM rx....the receiver has no clue what servos it's operating........

I have a 1/3 scale Hanger 9 cap232.It calls for a60 to80 cc engine. Ihave a new first place engine 5.8 but I don't know what how many cc it is. If it is larger than 80 cc is to much for the plane?

thanks John

5.8 cu.in. = 95 cc. A fairly accurate approximation for quick, mental, calculations is 1000cc (one liter) = 60 cubic inches. Actually, 61.0237441!
