Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Thanks for your replies back Guitarman52 and speedstik. I am most definately going to do a strengthing of the LG. Unless I find something that sounds better, the music wire/wheel colar method sounds real good. As far as the engines are concerned, I looked up the specs for the DLE 55cc engine and it is 1.6 more hp rated than the RCGF 32cc, but it will weigh about 1lb more, not counting the extra weight of the 6" wheels that speedstick had to install. I would like to build as light as possible with out having to add any unnecessary weight for balance. I also looked at the specs on a RCGF 45cc engine, and it was a gain of only .4 hp and it was also 1lb heaver than the 32cc. So with that all said, plus the fact the DLE 55 will cost me $100 more, I still think I'm leaning toward the 32cc RGCF. Quality of engine is also the final Big factor in determining what engine I choose, which I have no knowledge of. I will spend more for quality.
