RCV60SP installed in a RC Model Spirit of St Louis Aircraft

Owned and built by Mr Jim Smethurst
	Specifications Plane: Spirit of St Louis Plane Weight: 10 lb Wingspan: 6ft Prop: 14x14 APC Prop Powered by: RCV60-SP
	This Spirit of St Louis model aircraft was scratch built by Mr Smethurst using photographs and film to obtain the scale details. 2002 represents the 75th anniversary of when this aircraft flew from New York to Paris. The flight took 33 1/2 hours and narrowly avoided crashing when the pilot lost concentration.
	Mr Smethurst notes that the Spirit 'flies very well with the RCV60SP'. The model is 10lbs in weight and RCV usually recommend a model closer to 7lbs for the 60SP, however the engine copes very well.
Mr Smethurst comments the engine is 'great & beautiful' He has backed up his enthusiasm for RCV by purchasing a couple of the brand new RCV58CD engines which he is planning to put in a twin engine plane.
