Default RE: Need advice on mounting gas engine.

Hi Guys

Well here are some photos of the model, which look pretty junky but apart from the beat up cowl, it is actually not too badly damaged, although the previous owner started stripping the wing covering off. I think I shall have a go at restoring it, especially as I had intended to build my first gas engine model, since early Super Cyke days. It was going to be a 1/3 scale Evans Volksplane but restoring this (what ever it is) should work out quicker and cheaper. So guys, any help positively identifying it would be helpful. Also any tips on what size engine would be useful. Thanks for the photos of similar model engine mounts, I can't see any evidence of built in down and side thrust in the mount, any opinions.
