RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Thanks Bedford,
I want to go with gas too. The question with me now is which engine to go in for . Here are the options available to me :

A The Zenoah G38 is around 71 oz (engine + muffler) . http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=ZENE38A
B The SPE 40CC engine is just 53 ounce http://www.speengines.com/
C Also the RCGF 45CC is around 55 ounce. http://www.zrcgf.com/store/Results.cfm?category=2
D. a DL 50CC engine which is around 60 oz.

I have never really owned a gas airplane, and this would be my first. I seem to like Zenoah more than others, but not sure why they are soooo heavy.

Thanks for your help in selecting a powerplant for this kit !
