Default RE: Engine for Hog Bipe?

n8kny- I'm a huge fan of your hog! VERY nice!!!!!!

This is as far as I have mine covered. I still have the lightning bolt to add and the trim work on the horizontal stab. And I have to finish painting my wheel pants.

As you can see, I used a ST .90 on mine. I have a Saito 1.00, but the rear bearing froze and I am still in the process of repairs- so it is a basket case. I had the .90 sitting on the shelf for 3 years now and wanted to use it. I think it looks good! I had to recess the firewall by 1/4 inch to make it fit according to specs. I could mount a YS 1.20 on her, but it is set up for this powerplant now. If I like this bipe, I will build another (Only I would put a swept forward landing gear in the bottom wing-I simply don't like the looks, as functional as it is, of the bent gear forward of the wing) just for th YS.
