Apparently the Mini Funtana works well with 30 four stroke. I bet that an Edgeling scaled up a little would work well. Do a search on Edgeling.

Well if my experience helps, the Edgeling is one of the best 3D performers my hands have built. Mine has a Norvel .74 but I bet that a scaled up one for .15 will be great.
Just put the most long prop you can with the least amount of pitch and the engine will be fine.
Hope this helps.
And don't forget to make it light.

It requires a little more break-in than a larger engine, has a special plug and should be used with fuel that has 20% oil with at least some Castor. It runs very well on 15% to 25% nitro. It has good ilde and throttle response and an excellent power to weight ratio. IMO it is just about the best engine for the money in any size.

Way more than a speed 400. It has more power than a 480 brushless.
