thanks again guys and ladies

Are you talking about a goldberg eagle 2? OK guess not. What brand is it? Sounds like a bipe, Maybe a 90 - 100 four stroke. If its symetrical maybe at the top of the power band a 120 fs.

i have no clue...i'll have to check goldbergs site.... yes its a bi-plane... you can see pics of her under buckotobolts forum... and also in any one i have posted.... if you have msn please add me if not you can still email me if ya want to see pics.... thanks

I had ( briefly ) a waco bipe that was slightly smaller ( 60" top wing span ) and it flew well with a 91 four stroke. A 120 would probably work well for you. I'm putting together a 72" tiger moth bipe. The vendor says it flies on a 70 fs im going for a 91 allthough with a bit of surgery I could cram in a 120. With a 120 Id have plenty of power. Anyway the waco flew at at a liesurly pace at 1/2 throttle, more gas for acrobatic moves.

If size is an issue and cash isnt check out YS engines. The 110 is a 91 size case, the 140 is a 120 size cas. Both are very powerful for their size. They are supercharged and have intregral fuel pumps.

actually i have 2 or 3 ads in marketplace right now hoping someone has a twin for me i listed 3 main choices for what i am lookin for .... cash is somewhat a factor right now but i really want is a twinner.... used or not workin and needs work or somethin.....

I dont know if it sold but i saw an ad for a gas converted tartan twin for 350$ in rcu. Thats a BIG motor. I need somthing for an 80" cap 232.

an o.s 46 max wont work for it will it? i have an o.s 46 max that i can get rid of ..... anyways i looked at that one and i just cannot afford that kinda money right now.....thats why i am lookin for one that might need fixin up or somethin

Ok, im confused. An eagle 2 is a highwing trainer with a flat bottom airfoil.

This is not your plane though.

I would guarantee that a 1/3 scale bipe would need at a MININUM A 90 2 STROKE, OR 12O FOUR STROKE ( if its light and slow)and probably much larger.. oops dont mean to shout.
Big motors cost money. Search under GP christian eagle, pitts special. or Dave patrick ultimate. Try to compare size and weight of these models and see what motors are reccomended. These are acrobats and do tend to use motors that seem excessive. Find what is closest to your model and work from there. If it is 1/3 scale you may also need to get some high torque servos and a larger 6v battery pack.

so far the servos i have are doin the trick.... as for the engine... it was a tartan 4 in it before.... so i am probably goin to grab one up.....as for a trainer... i dont think it is....its totally bi-plane....have you seen any pics of mine? if not msg me in msn and i'll send ya some pics of her...or look into bucketobolts post... gpchristen eagle... i have all the pics in there......
