I'm for Zenoah engines when it comes to scale models where absolute minimum weight and maximum power are not the prime considerations. Zenoah engines are as reliable as they come and their prices are fairly reasonable. In a scale model with cowl room to spare, I'd stick with using the magneto ignition system. It's one less battery to worry about charging and maintaining, the engine is less expensive with a magneto, magneto ignitions generally create less RFI (radio frequency interference to your R/C receiver - yes, there have been exceptions to this rule) and the engines last a long, long time.
