Default RE: Engine choice for scale project?

<< Forgot to mention, I like your choice for a scale project. I saw Gene Scaucy (sp?) fly an aerobatic routine with an ag cat bipe at a local air show. I imagine with all that lift it would be great for slow aerobatics. However, I'm more of a round cowl man.<g>

I understand your like for Radial aircraft. However, I already have enough models with radials, my list is a long one!

1/4 scale Mystery Ship, 1/4 scale Red Lion, a bunch of Gee Bee Z's from 1/5. 1/4 and 1/3 scale. Also a Gee Bee Y and a Sikorsky S-39. I have a modified Sterling Stearman I built over 30 years ago. None of this stuff in done! So I would say I have enough radial models. One more I forgot, I have builder plans drawn for a 1/5 scale Grumman F3F-1.

I wouldn't consider building the Radial Ag Cat. So, understandably, my desire for the Turbine is obvious.

I'm going to do more research into the offering of 4Stroke engines. I also hope I receive more input and suggestions.

Thanks,

Charles
