GP super sportster, the little one
Wondering if I should stuff an older .20 in it or a little .30 4-stroke. It came as electric and was a dog, besides I'm just not into silent aircraft.
I sold off the 'e' stuff a long while ago, reinforced the firewall then stalled on the conversion. Just looking for suggestions...

RE: GP super sportster, the little one
Hi Jack in Maine
I fly one with a Cox Baby Bee .049. It is under powered, but kind of fun anyway. I would imagine that .20 or .30 4-stroke would be a bit much for the plane, but maybe a .09 to .15 would be suitable. The conversion was fairly simple as I did not need to worry about mounting a tank or a throttle servo. If I were to do it over, I would probably use a Norvel .074 as I suspect it would not weigh much more and would be about the right power for the plane.
Have fun
