Tazz, from your handle... I assumed you would like my pilot. As for chrome ultracote... its the chrome that I'll never use again... at least not for a whole plane. What a pain! It works good over open structures like a wing... but even if the wood is sanded as smooth as a baby's behind... every possible defect is magnified by the chrome. It also doesn't shrink as well as regular ultracote... and if you get the temp too hot, it will leave a permanent white haze in it. I like ultracote ok and will continue to use that. By contrast, the 1" yellow&black ultracote was a dream to put on.... even wtih its square pattern.

Tom, that sounds like a decent engine choice. Are you going to mount it upright or sideways?
