Default RE: Glinder with 4.0cc engine

The OS engine in the right photo is an LA 40S and of course intended for controlline airplanes and the other is the throttled version.

Reinoks I beleve you are confusing Cubic Centimeters with Cubic Inchs. The LA 40 is .40 cubic inches about 6.5 cubic centimeters. These engines are totally unsuited to your airplane.

I would use no larger than an LA 10 (.10 cubic inchs) and as the guys already pointed out without three channels minimum you will have no throttle.
