Hot Rod,

Can you explain more about why a gas engine wouldn't be good for this plane? I've been talking to my LHS guy and he tells me about a lot of planes this size using the Evo 26cc range of engines successfully and thats what I'd planned on putting in mine when I got around to building it. I haven't used a gasser before but my friends seem to like them and we thought the 26cc should work.

I haven't seen anyone using a gasser in this plane yet and frankly I've been holding off until someone posted a success (or horror) story about using one.

Thoughts?

No Flaps, I would say any gas engine is a bad fit for this plane (unless it is really light). Even with an OS 1.60 I had to move the battery back into the tail.

I don't remember seeing anyone who has flown a gas engine, did I miss the post?
