Thanks fellas...It was a pain having to do all that flying, but someone had to do it

Don't panic Tony, now that I can see again, the Habicht will feature in the next one!

That was lovely Chris (especially the Petrel!). I really appreciate all the effort that goes into these videos.

Sweeeeeet.
Can you tell me what size engine was in the TITAN? please.
I'm wanting to build a tow plane for my 3 - 4m span gliders.
I am building an american design called "Big Foiler" by John Tanzer. It caters to my 'vintage' bent and the need of a tow plane.
It is rated for 23cc - 50cc amd I have access to a 50cc engine of a flying buddy (he doesn't know yet so mums the word shh)

I thought since its the top end of recommended power it should handle a reasonable tow weight.

What you think?

Phil,
Both the Titan and the Greenly are used in the videos. They both use the Zenoah 62, with electronic ignition and a Krumscheid tuned pipe.
I use a 24 x 8 prop, as this gives good thrust. If you need any more info let me know.

Thanks Barry, I've looked at the Greenly many times but it just lacks . . .that something to grab my attention, you know what I mean? its a workhorse, I like some character.
