Thanks for the input. I finalized my decision on the engine. I'm going with the 18cc gas engine from Indiana Tiny Gas Engines. After reading about the gas powered models you and Bdstr built, I'm sure it would be a good match for the plane. I still haven't received the kit and I'd like to get a look at the plans before deciding if I'll modify beyond reducing the dyhedral angle. We're supposed to get another foot of snow tonight so I'd sure love to have the kit here to pass the hours while the snow is falling and the wind is howling outside.
Thanks again.
