I sold off the 'e' stuff a long while ago, reinforced the firewall then stalled on the conversion. Just looking for suggestions...

I fly one with a Cox Baby Bee .049. It is under powered, but kind of fun anyway. I would imagine that .20 or .30 4-stroke would be a bit much for the plane, but maybe a .09 to .15 would be suitable. The conversion was fairly simple as I did not need to worry about mounting a tank or a throttle servo. If I were to do it over, I would probably use a Norvel .074 as I suspect it would not weigh much more and would be about the right power for the plane.

Have fun
David
