Hi ram3500-RCU..
Thanks for your advice. To compare a 26cc and DL50...;

There's a different of 135g in weight. and huge in different in power...Ya, I agree, that would be more than over powered. Do you think the SV26 will be just enough for it? I actually want it to be slightly over powered, but I can't find a gasser slightly bigger than 26cc. I know there is one, SPE28cc, but the carb. is on the side of the engine, not behind it. I'd rather not make any hole on the cowling, to maintain the scale look.

Would this extra weight of 135g affect the performance by so much..?

3W-28i is rear-intake, narrow engine. Beaucoups power, and will help avoid tail-heavy situation without being insanely, stupid-overpowered like a DL 50 would.
