Have spent hours reading several post regarding the right choice for an engine in the Christian Eagle. Taking into account limited funds, I have narrowed down my choices and listed my concerns for each gas motor. Comments and past experience on any of these engines would be greatly appreciated. My main objectives are to keep cost down, ease of installation, easy starting engine, and having enough power to get out of trouble if needed. 3D flying is not a requirement. Have several glow engines, this will be my first gas engine. I've basically narrowed it down to the Fuji and FPE.

1. Fuji 50EI.

Pros: fits perfectly. cost. GP recommends this motor.
Cons: Heavy motor, Chief aircraft website says this motor is good for scale flying, not aerobatics. I have read several post that this motor flies the CE great though. Need pitts style muffler?

2. FPE 3.2

Pros: Smoke muffler included. Cost
Cons: Is it lacking power at 4hp?

3. BME 50

Pros: performance motor? plenty of power.
Cons: cost. No firewall mount. Need to purchase muffler and mount.

4. 3W42

Pros: Performance motor
Cons: Not a perfect fit. Cost. need muffler and engine stand offs.
