King Kong

If you want a REAL engine, how about a 280cc opposed twin converted drone engine ? Weighs 13 1/2 lbs..Made to fly a 400 lb Aquila drone...There's at least one used in a 1/2 scale GeeBee and another in a Yak...No starter needed, it wil hand start..Single Walbro WB39 carb and C&H Syncro Spark ignition..$1800 shipped....
We turn a 22x27 prop at 9000 rpm and go 220 mph with one in a Giant Scale race plane..
