Don,

Thanks for the post and the fine picture of your super nice looking planes. A neat trick, the twin engine conversion.

Oh yeah,,, I especially like the landing gear on that model in the upper right hand corner of the shot.

This forum is great. I read through it before I joined, looking for information on the subject I had a question about. Not finding that exact info I asked for specific information, got responses from all over the place, heard many good ideas, and got sound advice from both sides from 2 stroke and 4 stroke proponents.

It's good that there are choices in engine designs and airplane models. Each seems to fill a need. Having more choices is better than having only one thing to pick from.

After switching my thinking a time or two I've decided to not be frozen in indecision. I'll order all my stuff today. I'll get the Eagle II with a good 4 stroke and get a few extra tubes of CA to reinforce around the motor mount and fuse where needed.

The more I've been with my flying club and around the 2 stroke engines the more I've gotten used to the sound. The jitters I first experienced from getting close to the 2 strokes are decreasing with time. In fact, there's one 2 stroke engine that I particularly enjoy hearing while it's flying. I think the owner said it was a K&B engine. I think I'll eventually overcome my mini-fobia of two strokes and might even get one for the Eagle II after I get a second plane to use the 4 stroke in.

Thanks again Don,
