Hello fellas,

I am currently building my first big airplane:a Byron Christen Eagle. I am new to large scale airplanes, and I have a limited budget.

I have a brand new Mac weedie engine sitting at home in the garage, but it is not labeled as to it's size (displacement) and I am wondering if it is big enough for the Eagle. She should weigh 14-17 pounds when finished. If the engine is in fact big enough, is it a worthy conversion? What prop should I use? Will I be able to hand start it without the use of an electric starter? Will I have to re-carb it? Will I have to use a prop shaft extension? So many questions, sorry. I will try to get some pics of it this evening and post them here to ease in the identification of it's size. I appreciate the help, thanks.

Tommy
