Default First place engine suggestions/comments (21.3 cc)

Hi all,

I'm considering the (Sig manufactured) "First Place Engine" (1.3) for a 120 size Four Star(or course also Sig made) kit that I just ordered for my winter build project. (also my first kit)

Has anyone had any experience w/ this engine (and / or brand)? It seems like the right fit for that model? ...yes ?

This would be my first gasoline engine rc, and my third plane. I've heard advantages/disadvantages for nitro and gas, but would appreciate any opinions/suggestions.

My concerns: overall maint. cost /start up equip ie. do I need a larger starter motor?/will it fit this aircraft? etc.

Any experiance you can share is much appreciated, Thanks ahead of time.
