Default RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

That looks like a G2300 ST on the nose and no lead weight anywhere in site. If it balances like that anyone thinking of an engine over 3 lbs. is going to be in trouble. I am getting one and was planning on my Saito 270 but at 4.5 lbs. it looks like I'll have to rethink the engine. A twin gasser just would not fit. The clys. would destroy the cowl and make it look like a freak. You couldn't use a single cly. gasser with a wrap around muffler because of the flat firewall and side dump mufflers are just too noisey for a plane like this IMHO. I'm thinking either a Satio 220 or the new OS 200 if it ever gets here.
