I am looking into building this plane and powering it with a Brillelli 366GT engine(60cc). The Brillelli 366GT engine weigh's only 4lbs 2oz complete with muffler, mounts and EI. It spins a Xoar 23x8 prop at 6800RPM so it should have more than enough power for this plane. I was just wondering the engine is 6.25" wide from carb to muffler. Is there enough room in the cowl for the engine to fit with out cutting the cowl to make room for the muffler and carb?
I will be using 8 Hitec digital servo's. 4-5625 airlons, 1-5955 Rudder, 2-5646 Elevator, and 1-5625 throttle. I will also use 2-2400mah TBM lion batteries for reciever with MPI regulators and a 200mah nimh battery for EI.
