Sounds good, the Norvel .049 should be strong enough for that. My Norvel R/C engines provide great perfomance.

I think that's the point Robert was making. The plane was designed for an engine that makes much less power than your NORVEL (whether it's a Big Mig or AME). At the same MPH, longer lines will take you around slower. When first flying CL you WILL get dizzy. That goes away after awhile...part of the fun.

When you say a CL NORVEL, I hope you have the plastic tank with it. The Skyray is set-up for a radial tank mounted engine.

If you are going to Monocote it, you might want to fuel proof the wood first.

Good luck with it.
