Default Gas engine for a Seagull Nemesis 80" ?...



Ok guys...just picked up a seagull 80" Nemesis...quite cheap really & a quality bit of kit...even comes with funky multicolored flashing wingtip strobes!!..
I'm not looking to underpower this legend airplane....although i have an Evo GX 26cc sat on the shelf...i'm thinking of a CrrC-pro 55cc II Twin @ 1750grams....Madness?.. too heavy??
Any help would be greatly appreciated folks!!...gas all the way though.
The approx flying weight is 12.3 lbs...& calls for a 120-180 two stroke or a 120-180 Fourstroke....help me out please!!
Thankyou.

An OS GT55 fits nicely as seen in this video

An MLD 70 twin would probably be just right or even a 100twin.

or Hobbyking has a 55twin

Nicley spotted Alex....i wondered which gasser that was!....it seems the plane was destined for a twin...the OS55 is a little rich for me @ the moment.
It would be nice to see if any of you guys have one & power you have installed etc...any tips and such....i don't want to hack that beautiful cowl up!
Thanks...

Where did you bought the plane?

I think Syssa 30 SAP 180 HP would be perfect for that plane.
