Barzini.
I have been unable to communicate with you by email . Can you send me your email address to gramps1@ usadatanet.net. I have some stuff to send to you. I powered my STA with a Rossi .60 which was plenty of power. I also think a .91 four stroke would be the way to go. I had to put a slight amount of toe in to the wheels to keep it from nosing over otherwise it handled well on the ground. It reaqlly was a delight to fly and looked great in the air.

RE: Sig Ryan STA ENGINE?
Hi
Yep, I built one a few years ago. I wanted to use an O.S. 90 4-stroke so I called Sig and asked them about doing this. They said it wouldn't work. I went ahead with it anyway and it flew just great. I don't even recall adding any balancing weight. Actually, I had more difficulty putting the wheel pants together. I am not a fan of inverted engines so I just tipped it 90 degrees to the side and cut a hole in the cowling for the head. Good luck on your project.
