I used to have a Saito 180 a few years ago on a Lanier bipe.. about a 5 foot wingspan and 13 pounds. The 180 pulled it around like a foamy. You should like the Christen Eagle with that motor.
Thats about the weight if my Christen Eagle and the Ws is 62". So I believe your dead on, it should pull it around like a feather. The last owner was turning a 18x6-10 prop so that's what i'm going to start with.I hope it can survive the first flight with me on the sticks. This is also my first Bipe and anything larger than a .46 size. I realy like the looks of the Christen, but in honesty I bought it for the engine.
