session, a reasonable amount of time for most modelers.
Naturally, a larger pack provides more flight time but remember
that larger can also equate to heavier. We also suggest that you
routinely use an Expanded Scale Voltmeter (ESV) at the field to
check the charge condition of your batteries. This common piece
of field equipment can save your model!
ENGINES & PROPELLERS:
The Sig Sun Dancer ARF has been flown with a wide verity of
engines. As everyone knows, there is no substitute for power and
the engines recommended for this model all provide good power
margins. Naturally, the larger engines in this range make more
power and will fly the Sun Dancer with more authority than the
smaller engines. It is simply a matter of how you want to fly the
airplane.
The Sun Dancer was designed from the start for gas engines
providing ample room inside the cowling to comfortably fit most of
the popular gas engines that are available. We recommend gas
engines with a displacement ranging from 3.0 cu.in. to 4.3 cu.in.
(30 cc - 70 cc). Some of the popular engines that fit into this range
are listed below.
