Default GP Gee Bee 2-stroke?

I'm interested in powering my GP Gee Bee with a 1.08 2-stroke. All threads I've read involve 1.20 4-strokes. The 1.08 should be fine as far as power and weight are concerned. Has anyone heard of any results with a similar 2-stroke? I appreciate any info you have...thanks

all the above mentioned 2-strokes would be awesome in the GeeBee!! I have a saito 182 twin in mine, it's fairly fast but also quite heavy. This plane needs to be on as much of a diet as possible unless you like landing fast! The robart struts help with the typical bouncing problems this palne can show, but they also add a decent amount of weight. I think the ultimate power/weight/sound would be a YS140, but too much cabbage for me.
