It currently has fixed tricycle gear. I bought a Super Tigre S2500 and G2300 for it. I think they’re both similar in power but the S2500 is quite a bit heavier.
I had the 2500 in mine, I had to quite it to 98 db, the chocking that required lead to the phrase sicker tiger. cause it was always needing attention, but enough about that. either of your engines should fly it nicely. how is the wt of the airframe, and what is it already set up for? I had the e and r servos in the tail and did not have to add dead wt to balance it. mine started life as a trike and I moved it to a tail dragger down the road.
