I asked the same question earlier in the thread with no answers. My two concers are this......#1 is the firewall and surrounding support structure built to handle the extra vibration a gasser will put on it. From the pics I've seen in the instructions....I would say no. Mine should be arriving tomorrow....I'll post my thoughts after examining it. #2 How is the plane going to perform weighing in at nearly 11 lbs.....that's a very rough guess.....but the evoltion 25cc gasser weighs about a pound more that a saito 150 or 180. Who knows....if I sell my plane in the market place....I may just try it.

Got my showtime today...and boy am I in love with it already. I can't wait to get her put together. After looking at the way the airframe is constructed...I believe this plane could accept a small gasser easily. Firewall is plenty thick.....tied into ply sides that run to the back of the hatch and are also attached to the wing tube. It's built right.....and should take the vibration without a problem......but that's only my thought. Anyone else feel differently?
