RE: engine for Extra 230
oh yeah size absolutely does matter. only problem with gas is i keep my airplanes in the extra bed room in my house. so it would be like keepin my chainsaw and weed eater inside. the smell just wont go over to well with the wife lol. personally i'm a 2 stroke fan. so about a 120 2 stroke glow?

An AX120 should do the job nicely. I had one in a 72" ESM FW190 (the old all composite one) and it hauled the 17 odd lbs around pretty good!
Mind you, if it was me I'd go for a 30cc gasser too. Got a 73" Giles 202 in a box and an MLD 35 in another, gonna bring them together one day!
