My mini plane is still in the box. Need to finish too other planes first. As far as stiffening the "N" struts, I plan to replace them with some plywood "I" struts instead. I saw a REAL mini plane with this modification. I just fear someone will walk by at the air field and say "nice Pitts".

I am going to install an O.S. Wankel .30, unless someone tells me not to. Has anyone used this engine in a mini plane? What can you tell me? My reason for using this engine, well, because I have it NIB and the whole thing, including the stock muffler, seams to fit inside the cowl without chopping it up. My only concern is the size of the tank. This engine, at full throttle, burns 1.5 to 2 oz. per minute.

Good luck,
