J-3 Kitten - Circuit Laps at 70S
มุมมอง 3263 ปีที่แล้ว
I bought this J-3 Kitten 2 1/2 years ago. It is powered by a Hirth 2702 two-stroke engine, with a Powerfin prop. It is classified as a Part-103 Ultralight, weighing in at only 251 pounds.

    I've heard a lot of comments dissuading from 2 stroke on planes. Are they really unreliable and dangerous in reality?

      I promise you, if it was unreliable or unsafe, I wouldn't fly a 2 stroke! I still have dual ignition, electric start, etc.

    Looks like a fun plane! I'm interested in building one, I'm curious what kind of engine your using? And what's the heaviest you could use?

      @taildragger_spiff3863 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Engine is a Hirth 2702. With the electric start and gear reduction drive, it's around 52 lbs. The airframe itself was over built, and is capable of handling up to 75 lbs engine weight.

    I'm liking the way that you have your door propped up. Wondering if you could send me a photo of the attachment hardware. Thanks Al...
