999.0. "questions about World Engines Enticer" by SA1794::TENEROWICZT () Mon May 15 1989 10:34

    
    
    	Does anyone know anything about the World Engines kit the
    
    "Enticer"??   I was looking at the Indy flyer and was this kit
    for the price of 55.00 . It's supposed to have a 72" wing span
    and takes engines in the 90-120 four stroke range. They originally
    designed it around their maloney (Baloney) gas engine. I'm interested
    in this and wonder if it's a built up version of their Dragon Lady
    or Nuthen Special planes that they sell as ARF's (Almost ready to
    finish)  Any help will be most appreciated.

999.1	no help but a noting suggestion...	LEDS::LEWIS	`Mon May 15 1989 14:30`	6
	Sorry Tom, can't help you on the kit - but may I suggest that you modify the title of this topic to something like "World Engines Enticer" to aid the folks trying to clean up the conference? Bill

	Since I wrote this note I have purchased the kit and begun building the plane. Presently I have one wing pannel complete except for the leading edge. This includes all cap strips and the wing tip. In addition I have begun the second wing panel. Here I have all of the ribs in place with the spars,trailing edge and the trailing edge sheeting in place. I will need to joint the completed wing panel to the framed panel prior to sheeting to accomidate glueing the dihedral braces. Thursday I received my new Enya R120. This will be going into this ship. One nifty addition to the engine is that it's shipped with a remote glow plug connector. I thought that was nice. I found out that the engine this ship was designed around was the Maloney 125. I haven't heard anything good to say about this engine so that's what prompted me to go with the 120 glow four stroker. The all up weight of the maloney with it's mount is 50 oz. The Enya weights 21 oz. I figure that with a metal mount and a spinner I can add 10 oz to the overall engine weight. This then means that I need to reduce the tail weight by app. 3-4 oz. Presently the vertical stab and the rudder are made of solid sheet stock. My thoughts being that if I drill lightening holes or frame these parts up from sticks and sheet with 1/16 I can take the 3-4 oz. out of the tail. I have already taken 5 oz out of the wing by putting lightening holes in the wing tip plates. These were solid hard 3/8" sheet stock. I am also planning on monocoating the ship and think the 9lbs projected kit weight can be met. Tom

	Eric, Mine is not the R120GP. It's the straight R120. No pump. I have not yet run the engine. I expect to do quite a bit of testing to get a prop selection. Tom

	Thank's for the info. As the ship it's going in is a large lazzy flyer, (18% wing thickness,72"span,980sq's,9lbs tail dragger) I was going to start out with a 15/6. I have three I found in an old box. Rather I''ll try the 13/10. If I can get the plane to end up at 9lbs. I think it should fly fine. A pattern ship It aint. But that's not what/why I bought it. I'd like it to be somewhat aerobatic but very friendly. I'm looking for that ship that you take to the field every flying session and fly till the batteries scream for a recharge. With the thick wing it should have a slow stall speed. Tom
