A friend of mine had the original kit, he flew at airshows for Byron ... I know he had a 3 cylinder glow radial on his back when it first came out... its one great flying plane !

I've seen three fly in person, and they were all equipped with Zenoah GT-80's. Very nice engine for this aiframe.

Lets see some pictures!

3W-100 works fine too, just a bit of a pain to get it under the hood

I have the Zenoah gt-74 in mine. It fits totally inside the cowl and with the baffling I installed it does not need any nonscale holes cut for cooling air to exit. I have flow it in southern Mississippi with temps in the high 90s without overheating. On the road now but pm me if you would like to see photos of the engine and baffling.
