Consider the Super Tigre 2300. Strong runner, user friendly. The last large glow engine I ran before I went to Gas for that size. Don't know what prop for your plane, but 16" would be about minimum for the engine.

Himodel has the JBA 140 two stroke at a very affordable price. Might want to check it out.

The Super Tiger 2300 will swing an 18/8 or 18/10 prop with plenty of
authority , if cleance becomes a proplem use the Master Airscew
16/8 or 10 3-bladed prop. Also the Super Tiger 2300 loves to run on
FAI fuel (0% Nitro), but she is indeed a thirsty brute at about 2 oz. +
of fuel a minute between 3/4 & full throttle. On mine I was runnign a
24 oz. tank and from start up, taxing out, flying 5 to 6 minutes & landing,
it was almost a dry tank at touch down.

hey bill, jetdeck, thanks for responce, in messg, you state on mine, do i understand you meaning, you have the same plane and thats the engine your using? if so, what kind of specs, on right thrust, down thrust, if any or just line it up straight with thrust line, should i use a 24 oz tank also like you did? how did yours balance with that set up, is the cg in manual correct, is yours close to that setting? cool talking with you, hope for reply, seeee ya.
