These planes sound really cool. A great way to learn sheeting and possibly use retracts. When do you expect to start shipping. I am looking forward to flight reports. Would a Fox 15 be good or a Magnum 25? What is your target engine?
Personally, I think that 25's are overkill on 40" models unless you are looking to fly a missile. If you are, then possibly using a light 25 such as the Norvel's (back in production now) might be a good option. They also have 15's. Otherwise I would think that any good 15 to 21 would be more than ample power. Pipe the 15 if you are so inclined or use a muffled 21.
Speaking of 15's and 21's, the two NovaRossi RE engines below would be
scary choices!
