LENNIE,

NORM is on the right track. What kind of plane is it?

It may be a GLIDER TYPE and then that engine would be sufficient to get it to elevation to search for a thermal.

but whatever it is be sure it's intended for a beginner.. I hate to see a new guy get frustrated because he crashed. If you get good instruction it's not too bad of a hobby to get into financial wise, but if you "GO IT ALONE" it can really get to your wallet.
I "PUT IN" (crashed) two even though I had an instructor who I later found out didn't know any more then I did... BUT I'm BULLHEADED,STUBBORN,HARD HEADED and don't know how to take defeat !!! (sound familiar ART?)

See if you can find out any more information on that plane and post it back here and someone will help you with it.

by the way, HAVE FUN!!!
