Thanks Ken .
The only reason I concidered a larger 2 stroke , this thing is built like a tank . After replacing a lot of the wood , it still feels pretty heavy .

The saito .72 has been one of the strongest running engines I have , so it may do the job fine.

My goal this year , is not to have any ARFs . I found out last year , that my kit built planes are much better than the ARFs and I dont have much respect for the ARFs and tend to smuck them on a regular bases . All my kits builts , survived last year , but I`ve got a nice pile of ARF parts , lol

The only exception , will be my SkyBolt arf . Replaced the firewall and beefed it up in the areas that needed it. The SkyBolt arf weighs over a pound less than the kit , is why I went with it.

May try a scracth built , but have a US .60 and a Sukhoi I want to build first .
