Here is the url from Top Flite for the DC-3

http://www.top-flite.com/airplanes/topa0500.html

Based on their specs, I would suggested a couple of light weight .40 cu two-strokes or a couple of Saito FA-56 would sound great, IMHO. The wing loading is pretty high, so you will have to fly this plane carefully and all the way through the landing. Definitely not a floater.
