We recommend that if this is your first plane and you have not already joined a club that you do so
not only for the safety of yourself and others but for advice. Its always best to get a second opinion
if it is your first build and even if you're an expert, and ensure that you contact the BMFA to get your
insurance.
Designed specifically for the Cougar 2000 the West 36 TIR motor and pipe combination gives
more power than most 50 size engines. We recommend the West 36 because with the
enormous power advantage and minimal weight penalty of this motor (only 290g including motor
mount) the Cougar 2000 will perform every trick that it has been designed to do.
Not only will another power plant not perform so well but it will also weigh more which means
having to spread the weight further back in the airframe in order to achieve the correct C of G.
This then increases the moment arm effect giving a poorer performance, whereas the West 36
package will allow the weight of the radio accessories to be on the C of G giving ultimate
performance.
Recommended West 770KV motor and 60A controller, 4 cell 3350 lipo.
