Hi Everybody,
I picked up a Zenoah G45 along with a bunch of other stuff and noticed the name Toni Clark on the front crankcase cover plate. I haven't found much info but suspect it's not the usual Zenoah engine. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?
Thanks,
Bart

I also bought with the engine an S2 Models 1/3 scale Decathlon. Would this be a good engine for that model?
Thanks again,
Bart

All G45s say Toni Clark on the front, I guess he developed the first one from the Red Max 45cc chainsaw....
Should work OK on the Decathlon....

What is the wingspan of the Decathlon and what kind of flying do you enjoy?

Here's a link to the toni Clark website.

http://www.toni-clark.com/

They are Zenoah distributors based in Germay. The site is usually a good source of Zenoah related information.

Hope this helps.

the airplane is actually a bellanca decathlon which is more like a citabria than a super decathlon. the wingspan is 133" and I plan to have it on skiis for winter flying only. it's got a flat bottom wing so i think it will be a lot of fun that way. as for the engine, the g45 i have may or may not make it into the final set up.
thanks,

Bart,

The reason I ask is because I had a 1/3 scale Cub at about the same wing span and although it would fly, it didn't fly with enough power on a Mustang 50. I would recommend something a little larger especially if you want aerobatic capability.

Thanks for the input Alan. The airframe is about 85% done but it's going to be hung up in the garage for a little while while I get some other projects done around the house. She may fly before spring of '08 if she's lucky.
Regards,
Bart
