Hi,
I'm also putting together the Extra 260 and wanted to get a little input. Someone suggested a gasoline SPE 26 but I was talking to a friend who works a at hobby shop and is really up to date on the technical data. He said a Saito 180 would be best if I really wanted to have all the aerobatic capabilities and I just happened to have access to one at a low cost.
Also would there be a difference in installing the engine upside down rather then at a 90 degree, other than having to cut out the bottom of the cowling? I have another plane with the engine on its side and there was an issue with the lateral balance.
Any sensible comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aerosman
