I have a us 41cc on a big old plane that is called the 8 ball special the plane is heavy at about 23 lbs. So I am thinking about putting this engine on some thing else so how about you guys giving me some ides.

When I bought Memphisbelle's Yellow Aircraft P-47, he removed the US41 and installed the US41 off his 4-star 120. I guess I got the more experienced engine. Works great, huge loops, reasonable takeoff, semi-axial 4-point rolls.

In the meantime, he was hovering the 4-star 120. He got tired of it, and sold the plane & put the engine in his Super Chipmunk (Dynaflite?) Still has it, I believe.

His brother had one in a L-6, huge thing, about 100" wingspan.

Versatile engine. Adequate power, and plenty of weight if you need nose weight. (Some folks don't think of that as a plus, when needing less nose weight.) A few years ago, you could get them for a couple hundred, now they're "on sale" for something like $270.

Good luck,

I have a US 41 CC engine in a Dynaflite PT-19. What a combo. They were made for each other. One of the most fun flying planes I have. It will do more aerobatics than most pitts. What a bird!

I wish Dynaflite had not stopped selling the PT-19 and the super chipmunk those are two of the planes I was thinking about any more good ides any body.

Well I have not got many replies to this post so I thought I would get it started again and ask for some more ides.

Some ides on some biplanes for the us 41cc would be good to just not wwI planes.

not sure if you want to build or not, but Great Planes has Pitts special ARF and the Christen Eagle ARF someone local to me has a U.S. 41 in theres. The TF Giant Scale P-51 is also a candidate although i would recommend something with a little more power for it, but that's just me.

A Ryan's Rebel is a good choice for the US-41.

I would sugest a Roadrunner, it flys great and it looks just like Ryans Rebel

I had a US-41 in a Zeroli Fokker Dr. 1 triplane, good combo.

I have a Quadra 42 (Same as the US 41) in a SIG 1/3 scale Spacewalker. Great engine for that plane.

Guys I am thinking about the sig sun dancer I know it would be low on power but how do you guys think it would fly the plane. also guys I am not into hovering so I don't need a plane to do that.

I have a Great Planes Christen Eagle and A SIG Sukhoi both with a us 41. Both fly beutifully scale and the Eagle cowl completely hides the engine

Thanks I have looked at the GP Pitts also but don't know if I really want that type of plane but to be honest if the price is right I like just about any plane

I have a 41 in my 4-Star 120 and it flies great. Move the firewall back 1.5 inches to keep the CG correct without adding weight in the tail.
