The G-23 weighs in at more than I had thought.

General Specs:
- 1 cylinder
- Displacement: 1.400 cubic inches
- Bore: 1.300 (in.)
- Stroke In: 1.100 (in.)
- Shaft: 8 x 1.25mm
- High RPM: 9000
- 2.000 bhp @ 9000 RPM
- Weight (no muffler): 51.00 oz.


Ya know this projest just be a little more reasonable than I had first thought.

The G-23 only needed 6 ounces in the tail to balance.
Built with a heavier engine in mind you may not have to add any extra weight.
But the battery will have to go as far back as possible.

I do hope that you don't build as slow as I do.
It took me a year to build a Birdi Old Timer.
But it was truely a box of sticks, and the plans were not for a person who had not built before.
But you do have all winter.

Good Luck
