Gas powered Sukhoi????
If I can finish at 11 lbs with a gasser, I'll be in the low 27's for wing loading. I taken every measure I could to keep it light. I really like the sounds of the RCS 1.4 but I need to keep cost down. That's why I was looking at the Poulan conversion with a Mag. A guy at my field is building one with a 30cc homelite with a CH ingition. I don't think it will have enough power to 3-D.
2lo--- If you think you'll be in at 11# with the BME, I should be at about 12# with a conversion ( 29oz/sq.ft) .... Is that too much????
