I almost bought the kit, now I'm gonna wait! One question. The manual just shows the OS FS-91 install, even includes a template for cutting the cowl. I hate cutting cowls, So I looked I looked at a 2-stroke to see if there was a big difference. The OS FX61 is much shorter and you can put a Pitts style muffler on it. Would it be enough for this plane. I bet the FS-91 would pull this around real nicely...just hate cutting the cowl up!

I'm building the Skybolt kit now and you will have to cut the cowl to fit a 2 stroke w/ a Pitts muffler. I found this out the hard way with my Evo 100. Had to be a little creative to solve the problem. The pics speak for themselves.
