From what MFG?

If the top wing is 51", then it is the Sig kit, and if the span is 57"
it is the newer Great Planes kit.
The Sig kit was fairly new in the mid 70's and I believe G/P took
over production in the early 90's and increasing the scale slightly.
The engine approx. size are 75 to 90 2 stroke and 90 to 120 4c.
The performance is good as any bipe, but not the same as the
newer Ultimate series.

Thanks for the replies.It is the earlier 51"wing version was putting a Supertiger 46 in it but maybe to small?From mounts probably had a 60 of some sort. :)

Go with the .60. I have one with GP 61 and pull very well.
Reinforce the metal parts in ribs (where wings are bolt on).
My plane lose upper wing during looping.
Cabane strut very difficult to fix. I use the Sig system.
Landings are great!
If you want aerobatics, install ailerons on both wings.
Good luck
