I haven't owned a gas plane in about 10 years. The last one was a 4.2 Sachs on a 30% Carden extra. I hated how that thing sounded and how much it shook. These 1/4 scale Cubs are so light (especially the rear fuselage), I worry a gasser would shake it to bits.
Have the newer gas engines changed? The OS 1.60 twin has to be one of the smoothest model engines on the planet, I wish I still had mine.
Nice job on the Super Cub.

Thanks for the compliment.
The G-20 runs great and shakes no more than an average four stroke glow motor. The G-26 vibrates a little more but not excessive. In comparison to some of today's planes the Sig 1/4 Cub is built like a tank. Should be plenty strong for a small gas motor.
