Default RE: Got A Plane, But What Engines?

Thanks for responding guys.
The twin Ryobi's may be an acceptable solution as I already have one of these in "flight ready" status and another waiting to be converted. At 50 to 55 Lbs, my initial reaction was to put two Poulan 46cc in & let it rip. I know 50 Lbs sounds like a lot of weight, but with the extremely light wing loading----- Well that 's why I came to the forum because I'm not sure? My guess now is, given a long enough runway, realistic flight can be acheived as stated by Volfy, ie as small a conversion gasser as is available. However, Peter G. points out, flying with two Ryobi's, is flying that much weight with only about 26 lbs of thrust???????
Peter G. - that B25 is sure a good looking ship. How did you do the polished Aluminum looking finish? Did you convert one of the Ryobi's to run in the opposite direction?
If anyone out there has some more input, please pass it on.
