I'm using the Zenoah G-38. My choice was based on this being a common, well known motor that has been used in similar sized WWI biplanes. At this point any projection of the weight will be a wild guess. I have tried to minimize weight gain but it is my first effort at designing and scratch building a 1/4 scale biplane. If it were totally cad designed and laser cut I think it could be lighter but that is beyond my means at this time. I am hoping to keep the weight down to around 20 pounds.
