Default RE: Engine For CMP Spit

jez boys, isn't a 1.60fx Fi some what over kill for that little aeroplane. I don't mean power vise, it'll be so over powered you'll be needin' 45deg of right thust to hold a straight line... I'm talking about the sophistication and the price. That engine is a classy piece of kit, even used at the top end of the F3A circuit... why put it in a 2 dollar, sunday fold away Spit when any old banger would do... preferably a decent cheapo 4 stroke.

PS Chaps... the coment regarding the illusive inverted 2 stroke problem. People on the pattern scene have been, and still are, running many different kinds of 2 strokes inverted without any hint of a problem, certainly not becuase of the inverted position. It seems that the problems exclusively occures when they're opperated by folks out of that scene... go figure.

You need a nice chineese, SC 1.20 four stroke. Cheap, reliable and cheap. Perfect motor.
