Title: Is there any thumb-rule for relation between engine size and AUW.????
Post by: abhay on February 01, 2011, 12:22:34 AM
Hello buddies,
Since i am making the plane by my own, so wanted to know whether there is any thumb-rule, for all sizes of glow engines, with respect to maximum weight they can fly along with??

I owe an ASP .25 frm RCD,and making a trainer.Presently i am working on the fusalage.(wing has been compleated. watch:

So i want the limit for the max weight i can go upto. However i am trying to reduce the weight as much i can.

The AUW of an airplane for a given engine will depend a lot on the type of airplane and performance required. A trainer with a flat bottom/high lift airfoil would need much less power as compared to an aerobatic plane.

Your ASP 25 should pull a basic aircraft of upto 1.8kGs with ease.
