I am on a budget and want to get a engine for it. What engine would you recommend? I would like a 2 stroke not a 4 stroke and i do not want to over power the plane. This plane is going to be a cruiser. This is my second plane so i want to be gentle with it. nothing crazy.

any recommendations would be appreciated

thanks in advance

I am going with a 4 cycle Magnum 52 they are 150 bucks and will match the plane well.

If you can get a TT46Pro and a pitts style muffler, will look much better if the engine can lay on its side. SC engines are also good and reliable. Try not to go for ST or Magnums, many may not like what I said but I seen too many problems with them. Magnum 4C engines are very nice.
