Default RE: Top Flite Cessna 182 build

Thanks for the comments on engine choices, Andy. I'm not looking to overpower mine, I just want it to sound good - hence the four stroke. I did not know that Top-Flite loaded the plane w/ two pounds of ballast before flight, thats good info and makes me feel better about using a heavier engine. I want my muffler in the cowl too. I don't think it will be a problem with a four stroke, but if it is I'll just make my own!

I purchased this plane so I would have a plane for "lazy Sunday" type flying. Sometimes I just want to fly around! I'll save the snap rolls and 500 degrees/second roll rate for the uproar. :-)

Later...
