Well I have had all the people upset in the waco cox 1/5 forum for talking about puting a newly released ZDZ 40cc F3A engine in it. Weights in at only 1088.6 grams and 38.6 ounces. or 2lbs 11.2 ounces w/ignition. Seems to me a perfect engine to go into the Cox Pica Waco 1/5th or the GP Hawk! I have asked about this before but these planes seem to b inthe same catagory as the GP super sterman and thought it would be great combo....... Everyone was up in arms and said that it would tear it apart ect ect.....
MGA..... care to comment? What do you think?

I have talked to many fliers with nto much experience to go lets say from an Alpha or a Tiger, to go to the Stearman. It is a very easy airplane to fly. flat bottom wing, lots of lift. If you put a 150 four stroke it will be a nice docile plane, once you are use to it, and then want to do more things, you can go to a 180 Saito, or like me a gasser 40 cc, or the Bison 40 cc. I highly recommend the plane for a first time bipe. I also fly the Kangke Waco, and tht is fully semetrical wings, and that is a lot harder to fly than the stearman.
