I am thinking the same thing that you are on choice of power......I would like to come in at 18 lbs or so, 20 would be acceptable, and even 22 would fly fine, but probably not with the 34cc four stroke.......G-62 would be way too much. I have a Robins Suburu 34 cc four stoke gas engine which I would like to use. It is the core engine from which the Fuju 34 cc is made. It was converted by BCMA Engines (I think). I suspect this will be on the lower end of the power range but should produce a good combination for scale competition flying......I think that a G 45 would be the most power needed for sport flying and that a G38 would be a nice match.
I am currently finishing up a 1/3 Sopwith Pup and probably won't get back on my N-11 until later this summer.
Looking forward to your building thread.
Cheers,
Art
