That plane is awfully large for just 2 50cc motors. Has he considered the DA 85? The size of that plane is equally to the 27% Cessna 421C sold by Wendell Hostetler Plans.

Mario you are amazing!!! Hey i wanted to let you know that there is a big bird fly-in here in Maryland at PGRC on Sept 17. The Field has a 400' paved runway and an 800' grass runway that sits on 60 acres of land. Please come & bring the Cessna and King Air (if possible).
Here is the info:

Hi Adan, Mario,
I can truly appreciate the effort you have made in this design and build. In particular the short time in which you have completed all of this.
After your successful maiden and future flights, a project like this effort deserves at least a look at Turbo-prop power.
Many years ago, I had designed and built this 18% scale Beechcraft Starship 2000A and powered it with first a pair of Glow ST-2300's then Moki-1.8's and was never really satisfied with the less than scale like performance. So in 2001 I put the Starship aside.
In 2008 I purchased a pair of WREN MW44-TP units and in 2009 I completed the retrofit. More on this can be found at: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_70..._1/key_/tm.htm
While the cost to do so is high the reward in scale ops and performance is even higher. The performance and scale sound is near breathtaking not to mention the TP reliability. Having said this, you have chossen a wise path with your power selection when in a prototype / test scenerio.
I wish you fellas only the best as you move forward with your testing, maiden and follow-on flights.
I will certainly be watching with great anticipation
