oooohhhh, Duct tape....................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have a Briggs and Stratton 34cc, runs great and flies a GIANT stick (96" wing, 25 pounds) just fine. Slow but fine. I am now fitting said engine to a BalsaUSA Fokker DVII (fits perfectly) and am hoping to maiden it in a few weeks. Several friends have converted other brands, Honda, Ryobi, etc. Everyone has had great luck with them. If you are looking for power, go elsewere, its the sound that is so great about these. A buddy put a Honda GX31 on his Balsa USA Fokker DR1 mounted inverted and it flies and sounds like the real thing, and yes, I have seen the real thing at the Dayton Ohio Dawn Patrol (Man oh man was that a great show)
