Hi I want to build one of these airplane kits myself but I am not crazy about 4 cycle engines to power it. I am thinking I want to power it with either an OS 46 or 55 2 cycle engine. The first RC airplane that i saw fly was a Citabria back in 1972 at a ball park. It was so cool that I got into RC a few years later when I saw one in the back of a car belonging to a man I worked for. He powered his with a K&B 61 that had a fuel pump built in. It was a very neat airplane.
Check out this website, https://wanderings-ds.jimdo.com/sig-rc-kits-21-40/ there is detail information about this airplane here.
