I have a 17cc Chinese motor which I was thinking of using, but I don't know how well it'll run. I also have a couple Turnigy 26cc motors, the one I've run was the smoothest gasser I've ever seen and it seemed to have ample power. I don't think you can buy a gasser engine that wouldn't have more power than you'll need for the Sr. Telemaster. I'm planning on widening the fuse and putting a "radial" cowl. If I didn't plan on widening the fuse I think might go with a Evolution .60, a couple of my friends are running them and they run well.
I had a Saito FA-150 on my Sr Telemaster with CD/glow fuel & it was not "overpowered". It had enough power to climb 300' straight up when I yanked back on the stick in a shallow dive & do knife edge. At WOT in level flight it was rock steady.

BTW; It had a 1 piece 95" wing & I hauled it in an '85 VW Golf hatchback.
