I am looking into a engine. I want to go as cheap as possible. I am looking at the super tigre 2300 or the 3250. I do not know how much weight is needed in the front but if it needs a lot of weight then I want to go with the 3250, if not do you all think the 2300 will fly it? It is only .4 smaller in power than the OS 160 2 stroke, and from what I hear is that the 160 is more than it really needs.
Based on my experience, I think you're going to need the nose weight. If I remember correctly, I had to add 26 ounces of lead to the firewall with a Saito 1.70 radial. I'm now running an Enya 2.40 v-twin with the Rx battery pack (5 cell Sub-C) and the ignition battery (4 cell Sub-C) as far forward as I can get 'em and it balances without any ballast.
