NJRCFLYER2 The cowl on the airplane I am building is large enough that the engine will be mounted at an angle that will allow a strait header and cannister set up to run down the fuse between the radio plate and the landing gear plate. I have found the header/cannister setup on Ebay and looks to be a KS knockoff. For 60.00 I feel I would give it a shot. If it dosen't work then I stil have enough room to install an ES pipe.

Matt, I did take a look at the SAP180. I read through the thread here and pretty much came to the conclusion that it wasn't really what I was looking for. It appears that the stroke/bore and timing lend the engine to more of a high RPM operation then I am interested in. The airplane I am building is pretty much a 33% Laser with downsized wings and tail. The cowl is fairly large for a 2x2m pattern ship. As a result I feel that I really need an engine that will swing a 19-20'' prop in the 8500 RPM range. The other thing that I was not too keen on is the choke setup on the SAP. Not really a big deal but it would mean having the choke activation rod either come out the top or bottom of the cowl. On the DL I would be able to come out the front the same as I have done with the DA 50.

I do value opinions so by all means if my information is lacking I would like to hear from those with more experience than myself.
