Stuntfler,
I first flew the plane with a G26-EI installed swinging a 17x8N @ 8000. Pulls good but runs out of poop at about a 300-400 ft climb.
The motor you see in the crash pic is a DZY motor I ran for a friend of mine who's ARF company I sometimes fly for. He brought over
some motors to test and we installed it in the CAP. Needless to say the wreck wasnt my fault (at least thats my story and I'm sticking to it) That little motor would turn a 16x8 APC at about roughly the same RPM maybe more. But it lacked even the G-26 power but
really started and tuned easy.

Thanks,
I'm not up on gas engines. Is there a conversion chart to compare power of gas to glow by displacement?
