Default RE: JACK STAFFORD Models Aircoupe's

Hi Everyone

I recently acquired one of these kits, and I'm looking forward to building it. Lots of character with those twin rudders, big bubble canopy and great colour schemes to choose from. Should be a fun / challenging / frustrating build with that rounded fuselage!

Two questions - 1) Will an Enya 46 4-cycle be enough power for this plane? I would likely mount it inverted, with an on-board glow lighter as well. I fly off a fairly smooth grass strip, and I could always up-size the wheels a bit, too. 2) Has anyone tried the Robart Robostrut nose gear assembly on this? It looks pretty scale, and was just wondering if it would fit ok.

thanks
JW
