Default RE: Kioritz 23.6cc vs. Homey 25cc

Hi,

Looks like I'll convert the Kioritz 23.6 and use it on my next project. I did some more research, and it looks like the Kioritz would have almost 1000 rpm more with the same prop, and weigh about a pound less ready to fly than the Homey. I'm rebuilding the Stick in my Forum picture, and this plane is borderline too small for a gasser. The lesser weight of the Kioritz will be good, and there's no such thing as too much power!!

I'm thinking of ordering a Dymond Models 72 inch span Tiger Moth, and I think the Homey I have will work very well on that. I have a PDF file of a MAN article with this plane converted to gas if anyone is interested. Looks like a pretty good deal.

Thanks,
AV8TOR
