RE: ultra stick lite engine choice
A guy at the field has this plane with a G-26, it flys well but is no barn burner I agree with Captin at least a 30cc and a Homey is a good one. I have a Giant Big Stick that I flew on a Poulan 46, what an awsome plane! Ulimited vertical. The Poulan was a brute of an engine and the airframe soon began to show it. I replaced it with a 45cc CRRC. It still has great performance but not like the old Poulan!
