Mark,
You should be able to bring in my kit at less that 8 pounds. I am using lighter materials and techniques to make the fuselage plus I am using the lightest/stongest foam wings I can make. Quite honestly, I can't see putting anything over a .91 in the plane. I am presently building one for myself with a Jett .91 FIRE which I expect to be a rocket ship. One other thing... even with a YS .60 this plane will haul.... so.. I know we are in the realm of if it fits, us it, but I'd get the kit and start figuring out your weights before going with a 1.2 sized engine.

Thanks for the reply, Dan. If it will stay under 8lb, then the ST90 will be fine for me. I have both engines sitting in the basement, so I can choose after weighing things out.
I've sent you an email about pricing and shipping for the Brushfire and the T2A-40 as well.
Thanks,
Mark
