Default RE: Sig Astro Hog "Engine recomendations

Huggins,

Thanks for the pic of your "Pig" - That really looks great!

I'm still debating what engine to use in mine. Since they look more like an airplane I think it should have more of a real airplane sound to it as the 4-strokers do.

Maybe the 4-stroke is the way to go, but not to overpowered and have the tail feathers come off like my old goldgerb piper cub almost did at full throttle with a S.T. .61 on it! Ailerons fluttered bad, but on take-offs, that thing was up off the runway in no time at all!

I've never used a 4-stroke yet and I am wondering if I would incounter many problems with it like others say they do. Nothing worse than getting to the flying field with an engine that won't run properly or having it go to the doctor and the doctor ain't in. I'm like a doctor without a license when it comes to repairing engines. Maybe if I knew the basics on upkeep on a 4-stroke I'd feel a lot better.

More "Hog" pics welcomed here....

Thanks,

Big Dan
