I just finished one of these myself, built from the plans on the Aeromaniacs site. Power is a Black Widow which has been doctored with a #5 TD.051 piston/liner and #1702 high compression head. Prop will either be an APC 6x2 or 5.7x3.

Mine came out a touch heavy, at just over 8oz. I'm considering sticking a Norvel .061 in it and flying it on longer lines just to see what happens :-)

I haven't flown it yet. I took it out the other day, but my battery died after a couple of flights with another model, so it came home still a virgin.

This was my first new model in nearly 20 years, and a fine, easy to follow plan, to re-awaken my very rusty construction skills.
