Jim: What I can find you need a minimum of 625.5 sq. in. & R/C assist with a minimum weight of 44 oz. This is from the Klarich Kit List , they have several planes that will fit this for you, just depends how wild you want to get . E-mail [email protected]
Good luck , Max H.

This engine is considered a class "B" size so any of the old designs that called out class B should be suitable. The actual weight and wing area depends on the type of flying that was intended.

I've got a Forster .29 myself that will be going into a Brooklyn Dodger kit designed by Sal Taibi. That's the engine he used originally in this model.

I have a Forester 29 in good condition. Do you know what it is worth? Also have a Phantom gas ignition motor with points. Are you familiar with it? I can't fine any info on it

A great Obarski design from '39, the Foo-2-U.

These things fly exceptionally well with Forsters. But most any OT'ers in the mid-50" span/425-475 sq." were class B and will do well.

You almost need to post pictures as there are several different years & models of both engines . You can put them here or send them direct to me at [email protected] I can most likely fix you up . MAX H.
