Hi I just bought the Top Flight T34B Mentor and Im wondering which engine would best suit this plane, the Dle 20cc, mangnum 70 4 stroke, or is the OS 65ax good enough? Also, this is my first kit Im building how difficult is it or what is the avarage build time? Thanks Manny

If this is your first kit build, you need to follow the instructions closely as I don't think this kit is a good one for a first time build. Top Flite does a good job with their instruction book and RCU has lot's of members that can help you if you get into trouble. Good Luck, Dave

I would suggest a good 60+ (up to .90) two stroke or a 1.20 four stroke.

Please post pics when you can. This is one of the planes on my "wish list" that I hope to build someday. Although I want to make mine look more like a T-34C Turbo Mentor that I flew in when I was in the Navy.

Magnum 91 four stroke

I love magnum engines but the problem is that the cylinder head will stick out the cowl too much I want to hide everything as much as possible. So a smaller power plant will be needed.

Ahhh I was doing some homework before I was to buy it. I got most of my answers by weeks end I will order it. Not too sure if Im going start building it here in Hawaii or wait till I settle in Germany. But Im determined to do the best I can.

Yeah Im going to go with the os65 2 stroke

Thanks Dave for your reply, I was also looking at the top flight p47 kit and it seems to be the same skill level as the mentor. It would be a great confidence booster if it comes out perfect!!
