Default RE: North Star Engine
An engine with a good power to weight ratio is what is needed for the North Star and Arrow
The K&B .65 sprotster is what I have on my Arrow, the engine only weighs 19 oz, and the plane balances on the rear CG with no lead in the nose, for full forward CG only 3oz. of lead shot is required in the nose. my North Star used to fly with a heavy .48 size engine, it was ok but it doesn’t even compare to the Arrow with the .65 combination.
