RE: engine of choice
Don't go with a gasser in this plane, it just comes out too heavy to benefit. It will fly well with an OS 1.08 two stroke and up, and better still with a Saito 1.80 four stroke. Moki and YS both have engines in similar sizes that would be excellent choices, and keep the flying weight down. With your plane, as in most others, lighter flys much better.
