So do you all think the TS 52 is too much for this plane? I think the 42 would probably do everything I want
Yes, the 42 will do everything, and the 42 would be the better choice....except....

but I'd like to be able to take the engine to a slightly larger plane in the future. For that I'd rather have a 50cc than a 40cc.
...if you plan to go to a 50cc size plane as you just mentioned, then I would accept the extra 4 oz of weight, get the 52, use the throttle and have the bigger engine ready for the larger plane. BTW, when I put the 42 in the DP Extra I mentioned, other people were, as an example, putting BME 50's in them and were also happy with the way they flew.

I guess you don't need a guide with the Taurus?
No, they have a single bolt through the prop....but make sure and drill that one hole perfectly straight.

>>Sorry Steve if I've hijacked your thread... I don't think you've really got your white gas answers...

Only Steve can answer that, but I think you have bascially the same issues Steve has, and your questions are related to the way the thread has morphed.
