Default What engine for a 1/4 Scale Cub like Dave Patrick?

I am looking at the Dave Patrick ARf Cub or a Sig/BUSA 1/4 Scale Kit. What engine are you using on the Dave PatrickCub?

Thanks,

Ed

I have a OS 160 Twin in mine. You won't be sorry with this set up. John

I have a Saito 150 in mine and I'm very happy with this setup. There's a great variety of engines you can choose for this airplane, it depends on what you want, you can go gas with say a Zenoah G-26, or two stroke glow with an OS108, Four Stroke 1.20 to 1.60, etc.

Saito 120 is a perfect match. No it will not hover, but it will fly with authorty just like the real one. Get the DP PA-18! They are awsome. There is nothing out the any nicer in my opinion.

G23, got the engine new for 200.00 and gas is cheaper then glow and plenty of power.

I put an RCS 1.4 gasoline engine on my 96" Kankge Monocoupe - perfect match. The cub would love this engine. And a gas engine will pay for itself in a summer.

I'm using an OS 160 Gemini Twin - very scale sounding, great scale performance, can't beat the view through the front of the cowl, overall a great choice! Did I already say scale sounding? Nothing else will do justice for this plane.

I used a Saito 182 TD and it fits perfect.

I have the O.S. 160 twin on mine also, was planning on using gas but for gassers other than the RCS 140 you have to cut the cowl and I didn't want to do that to mine. There's a thread on the DPM cub...lots of pictures and engine choices.
