RE: new to this..questions
Hi,
The D-7 is a good canidate for a 21 to 28cc trimmer engine. Since it should have a lifting airfoil and a short nose the 3.5 to 4.0lbs motor will help balance it. The higher wing loading should be carried well by the clark Y lifting airfoil. Another advantage is the boxy cowl will enclose the flywheel.
