i bet it would be awesome in a 1/4 scale cub.... the mag Zen g26(engine only) weighs 53.6 oz the 40cc twin with ign and muffler weighs 53.4

is this engine for the 30cc 3d plane market?

This is true, a DLE 30 weights 38.4oz. The RCGF 40 weights 15oz. more.
It is going to be a bit wide for some of the 70"+ warbirds, which it would be more than perfect for in weight power, on the market now because the spark plugs are straight out of the top of the cylinder. That means it won't fit the average 8" size cowl for these size warbirds without exposed plug caps.
It will be perfect for large Cubs.

Its perfect for round cowl warbirds in the 70" wingspan range.

BH FW190 A-5 springs to mind.
CMPro's Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" could be another.

The Wulf's cowl is 10inches

I just measured the cowl on my 70" CMP zero and it is 8". That is a no go.
