It will be a miracle if you get an airframe designed to fly on two .45 two stroke engines reinforced sufficiently to accept gas engines.
However it is your money and your project.

Have you ever heard the old saying, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say nuthin' at all." ?
I've got some guys here willing to help me dig up the right motor. BN120 has offered to help with machineing. This can easily be done with motors that weigh under 3 pounds.
I'm guilty as anyone for saying stupid stuff and makeing comments where I should just mind my own business. It's something I'm working on. Trying to only comment when I can help in a positive way--or I have had the plane/engine before and know what I'm talking about. It's a work in progress, but I'm aware of it and trying to get better about it.
The Skymaster Twin has been a dream of mine since I started flying. Almost 8yrs ago. It's the same as a guy who builds a scale B-17 or a 30% Cessna 182. It might not be perfectly 100% scale, and it might be a little overweight, but It's my dream man. I'm in love with this plane. Quit trying to squash my dreams man. Your killin' me.
Back to these engines:
I'm all over the internet looking at 18 and 21cc engines. I haven't found a Shanindiawa yet, but weedeater makes a 21cc engine
