Hi,
Where did you find it, its been long discontinued?
I don't know the engine you're suggesting, I've been using a DLE 20 with 17x8 2-blade that's flying it OK, not screaming fast.
I'm in the process of switching to a MVVS (Evolution in the US) 30cc to swing a 17x10. This being a sleek airframe it will benefit from the 10" pitch to get ~90 mph airspeed and catch the P-51s that have been kicking my butt!
I use ESM 109-E pneumatic retracts, they are a drop-in fit, scale angle and have been very reliable for over 18 months of hard flying. you HAVE TO reinforce the retract mounts though whichever retracts you use.
Oh, and it needs a paint job
