I know I'm probably going to get clobbered for this but I just purchased a Hangar 9 T-Craft that has been used and gone through several different engines. I've got a Super Tigre 2500 that I was thinking of putting in front of it but then, I started thinking too much. I've also considered putting a G62 in front of it. There's plenty of room for a 22 inch prop and if Ralph lightened it up, I'm thinking that it should be about the same wieght as the 2500. I'm going to check on the wieghts of each and see. I'm not putting smoke and all that other stuff on the plane so I'd be saving wieght there. I know, I'm expecting to hear the usual over-powered rant. The same stuff that I heard when I put a 91 on the front of my Senior. I LOVE that plane!

Rather than argue whether it would work or not, I'd like to compare notes. I'm wondering what some of these other engines wiegh? A BME 44 with smoke can't be that much more than a G62, right? Yes, the Zenoah wieghs more but I don't have the added wieght of an ignition and battery on top of that.

I've flown my dad's Decathlon with a 30cc conversion and frankly, I'd like more power.

No, I'm not coming in here, trying to "stir up the pot a little", I'm actually considering it and would welcome serious input as to what other folks' engines wiegh, any additional stuff like smoke/batteries and how the plane flies and lands. I don't want to make a rocket out of it but if it has the power to wieght ratio of my Senior, I think I'll really enjoy it. Thanks for any constructive input.
