Its a 50cc 4 stroke gasser made by Moki...
A guy was selling one in the swap shop for 600$... but said it was NIB, but yet he had a video of it running on
youtube???
I was going to buy it but I had second thoughts...
I have a hard time buying a used engine from someone I do not know personally....
Someone else picked it up....
Was it you??
Nice engine, either way....
The price is over the top though...
I picked up a 7-cyl 70cc radial engine.... as it was the same price....
This pict is not my engine, as it will be here in a couple 2-3 weeks....

I have thought about taking the Cowl on this plane and making the version that has the Wacco type round cowl
THe radial would then fit....

What is the max 2-blade prop one can fit on this one???

Re the prop size, what is it? Hard to answer without that information...
But looking at the size of it compared to the hand that's holding it, looks like it's way too big to fit on the front of the Top Flite Staggerwing. Maybe a Ziroli.
Remember, this airplane was designed around the OS Max160 2-cycle.
