Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Hi all,
Been reading through this thread a lot, and it got me inspired to build the Dynaflite SD. Received it from Tower last Wed. and have started the tailfeathers. This is my first giant and scale build, so I have questions. Plan on doing a Koverall with paint covering. I like working with Koverall. My first question is: I don't have anything to power this plane yet, and I want to go gas, which I have also never did before. The Dynaflite SD gives a range od 25-35cc range so I thought I'd stay around the middle of this. Been looking at a lot of different engines and their specs, and there seems to be many differences in hp and total weight even in the same cc size range. I'm leaning toward going with a RCGF 32cc engine, which may be close to the same weight as their 26cc, but with 1.3 more hp and able to swing a bigger prop.
