I appreciate the replies fellers! I guess what I'm looking for is the right engine to balance the plane with out adding ANY nose weight. The way I look at it is this; If the plane requires nose weight, the weight might as well be made from Aluminum, and Steel IE bigger engine.

I recently WAY overpowered a Hobbico Hobbistar 60 with a 2/strk Magnum 120. If I would have known what I had created, believe me, I would have used a tad bit of a smaller engine. It moves out FAST, and unlimited verticle. I can still get him to float down, but I'm pushing the airplane beyond its limits. I kind of get tired of throttling back, and worring about clivises breaking etc..

Anyway, wouldn't a 120 make the CG about right? I sure do like my Magnum 120, and at 206.00 OTD, its a bargain! Any of the 90 2-strokers heavy enough ?

By the way, I received the ARF today! WHAT A NICE LOOKING PLANE !!!!!! I'm going to take my time on this one, and make sure of everything being just right....
