Hi Bill,

That 160 twin looks like a perfect fit. Now you got me thinking I might want to try one in mine. I had planned to power mine with a Saito 120 or possibly a 150 which I have on hand, but I really like the looks of that 160, and the fact that you don't have to cut a hole in the cowl. I bet it sounds great too!

I've never tried a twin, but have a friend with one of the Saito tiwns and it sounds real nice. Unfortunately, he has lots of problems keeping his running right. Do you have any problems keeping both cylinders hot, or do you use on-board glow system to keep them going?

Aerowoof, I also had a Maloney 100, which was not only my first gas engine, but one of the first engines I ever had. That thing would never run right, and required constant fiddling. Even when it ran great, it didn't have much power. I got real good doing dead stick landings with that engine.
