Hi everybody, glad to be a part of this forum.

I started flying about a month ago, soloed in one day, and have now flown my LT-40 about 20 hours (2 gallons fuel). Usually all by myself (small town, great flying field)

Anyway, I've got the flying down pat, along with take offs and landings. Since the weather is turning cold in MT, I decided to try my hand at building. I bought a partially assembled Great Planes Sportster 60. I have been working on it for a while, and am ready to start the fuse. I found a new Saito FA 100 on Ebay, picked it up for $218 including S&H. My questions are as follows:

1) The engine may be a bit gutsy for a 60 size (60-90 4 stroke rec), but I haven't a clue how to break it in properly. It's a really gorgeous engine, and I want it to last a long time, so proper break in is a must.

2) The plans call for some modifications for a 4-stroke. Things like moving the firewall back for the extra 4 stroke length. Once it is modified for a four stroke, can I ever put a 2 stroke 60 size in her? Are their adjutable mounts made that can use a 2 or a 4 stroke? Or am I just a wishful thinker? I was hoping to try a Top Flite Cessna that Saito engine would fit in nicely (scale), if I do, I'd probably like to stick a 60 2 stroke in the Sportster.

Thanks for your time,
Randy
