Hi Kwik,

I believe the Jim Pepino plans show a Quadra 35cc engine. Most likely a 50 to 75 cc gas engine will give you plenty of power to handle the 85" S6B. I would guess that the 85 inch S6B would weigh in the neighborhood of about 25 to 30 lbs ready to fly. A large scale float plane has to be well built to handle the harsh loads from water landings that are greater than what you would expect in a land plane.
