Default RE: How much power?

Those Nosen planes were designed when there were no gas engines avaliable. 60 size engines are going to make you crazy with that plane; it will fly it but it will have to be 0 wind and it will drag around the sky like an overweight 1/2a powered glider. 28-30cc gas with the appropriate mods to make it strong at the engine. A bigger engine will not make it go faster but it will allow it to climb when you need too. I remember one as a kid; it was beautiful, a master piece. It took 3 circuts over the field to get high enough to stop sweating a dead stick; that summer got to see my first ducted fan plane, it drug around the sky at the edge of stall too.
