I just finished a Byron Christin Eagle and wanted to know what engine to use, I have a S-T 3250 sitting on the shelf but I would like to try gas Thought about a G-45 or similar would this do the trick Looking for basic Sunday flier not wild aerobatics Thanks For Input

I'd use the Super tiger ........No worries about gas fumes destroying that foam.........Probably will be lighter and fly better too........

I have a 60cc Homelite in mine. Works great. Its a high wingload plane but the G45 should work fine for what you want to use it for. Remember to keep the power on on landing as it glides like a doornob with all that drag.

if you are going to buy the engine new i would look hard at a zdz40 or 60, or maybe some of the sachs type gas engines.

do you know how much weight you will need up front to balance it? the zdz will be relatively light compared to a zenoah 45.

have you run the st yet? i would break it in and then evaluate the engine- my super tigers need at least an hour to start to run well at the low end and then you can start to really tune the mid range. but then you may already be experienced running st engines so this may be nothing new.
