Howdie,

[@klmelj]

That thing pulls the crap out of that plane! I have been looking for a 200R3 for a while to replace my 170R3.

It’s definitely got enough to gitty up.

[@dank3998]

Sounds wicked, nice landing on grass.

[@benjammin3060]

Thanks!

[@TheCatzFranzNeko]

that is fucking sick. You know what abouts the top speed this beauty reaches?

[@benjammin3060]

Thanks! I don’t know the top speed.

Cool fliegt - better than my electric FMS Red Bull Corsair 1.4m...

[@benjammin3060]

Same fun, just different sound.

[@tennriverluver3534]

I also have the Staufenbiel/FMS Red Bull Corsair. Still waiting to build my Phoenix Model. Had planned on an EME35 with auto start but this video has me thinking otherwise.

[@tennriverluver3534]

You're yellow wing tips, did you use covering or simply paint them? That looks really good on this plane.

[@benjammin3060]

Thanks! Painted with a Rustoleum rattle can. They’re about twice as wide under neath the wing too.

[@altaylor5824]

very interested in this combo. any major assembly complications?

[@benjammin3060]

Hardest part was modifying the motor mount to fit the firewall. Basic metal work.

[@tennriverluver3534]

Oh man!! I haven't built mine yet but a club member put a three cylinder 33 of some type in his and had to 3D print a larger cowl for it to fit. Is that that stock cowl on yours? I haven't even opened the box on mine so I don't know the cowl size.

[@benjammin3060]

Hi,
Yes it’s the stock cowl. I had to change out the valve cover screws from standard to flush fit tapers and grind the cowl just a little bit then apply thin layer of epoxy where the valve covers are. Minimum clearance but it’s working just fine. You can see the flush fit screws in the beginning of the video with the cowl off.
