Default Moki 2.1 in a Big 85"Bingo?

I may be able to help some. Built the Big Bingo when it first came out , it was my first large plane & I thought they were all built like a truck! Took me a week to ten days to get mine in the air , powered with a OS Gemini II ,120. Flew it fair but you had to plan ahead what you were going to do , had LOTS of lead in nose + on-board glow. Figured that to get rid of lead why not use an engine instead . Only thing in stable at that time was a Quadra 50. Put it in & really had fun then , later even put a pipe on it to impress the troops more. The only things I can see against the Moki powered one is the time you say it is going to take you to build it & I think you to are going to need a lot of LEAD also . I would think the Spacewalker ARF would get you in the air quicker with a much more enjoyable plane . I am not a ARF lover but they sure are getting better both in construction & price. Final weight on my Bingo was 21 pounds. Good luck ! MAX H.
