Hi Carosel43,

Great ! Thanks, I tend to work way ahead in my build plans and just "learned" I'll be building a brand new VQ Huricane 60 starting about a year from now. I love that plane and I'm giddy I found one to build later.

Having the dimensions is the first place I start when trying to conceal the bits. The new Huri will not be a weed wacker like my current one. I was looking for something that would spin a 15x8x3 fast enough to get me into the 65ish mph pitch speed range.

I'm' posting from my phone so I can't look it up but I think the DLE 20 dimension from center line to the top of the head is 99mm. I'm looking for an engine (4 stroke) that fits inside that dimension without too much sticking out.

The RCV 90 would do it with a 15.75x13x3 but it's a different animal that I'd have to bench run a good while and confirm I can make it perform as needed without ProSynth fuel. I've read adding a Perry Pump may help.

An inline 140 laser might fit ..... Depending on carbs and exhaust.
