Bob, I already have the 215, I love this hobby but I don't want to buy another $5000.00 engine.
I want a Valach 120 twin boxer for my 1/3 scale pup, but $2100.00 is a bit much.
It's not so bad...

1/2 scale sopwith pup

Folks, In your opinion, do you think a Moki 215 radial engine would power a 1/2 scale sopwith pup, I noticed on some of the 1/2 scale german triplanes the fellas are using a much larger engine.

Larry, It depends on where you want your power, the twin 155 boxer engine won't turn as large a propeller as the moki at the same rpm so it's pretty obvious you won't have the same power.
