Hi Dannafinance, I know that you asked Dan about engine size and I have not said anything about engines. I am putting a G62 with electronic ignition in mine. I plan to put smoke in it as I have the smoke muffler already. I built the tail section today and will start the fuselage in a day or too. I have enjoyed this post as we have built our planes togather. Also I am still thinking about the carbon tape epoxyed to spurce strips. Do you think they would be strong enough. Wayne
