I plan on getting both plane and engine at the end of this month (happy birthday to me!). A friend suggested has the Zenoah G26 for the Rascal. The RCS 1.4 looked a little expensive to me, but that it would be a good fit. Money is not a big concern, just that I am getting what I pay for.

I had considered the Rearwin Speedster, but did not have much luck getting detailed information. Is it really suitable for a first time large/giant plane?

Thanks again for the info. There is a local giant scale fly-in this weekend. I will be asking questions.
