Hey Will,
I originally ran a OS 140 RX in mine and eventually put the trusty ol'e OS 160 in it on a pipe after the 140 was discontinued. This would still be a great combination for the plane. I ran the OS 160 in FAI for 2 years 2007-2008 in two air frames, until I switched to YS. The OS160 was very fuel efficient with a Perry pump and a tuned pipe. Finding headers may be difficult with the lose of Karl Mueller, who use to custom make the headers.

I completely agree that it would be an excellent first or second pattern ship. The biggest drawback is that it is glow powered as pattern seems to be largely e-power these days. Probably could be converted to e-power with a bit of effort.
