First Gas Engine
 

I was the lucky recipeant of a hand-me-down aircraft. I am not sure of the make
but it is what I would call a 120 size (maybe bigger) Citabria. It needs only minor
repair and electronics suite to be ready to fly. After recieving it at the field and
resting up a bit at home, I took a closer look. I noticed a swing door carb on the
side (I don't know to much about mechanics) and then a spark plug and cable
on the bottom. So I am guessing that it is a Gas Engine.

I will try to post pics later today, maybe someone can ID it for me.

OK, now knowing I am a newbie and not good with mechanics, what should I know?
Is it normal unleaded gas or something like weed eater 2 stroke? Any useful helpful
knowlodge is appriciated. I am not even sure how to start it, fuel it. LOL I have not
really taken a good look yet. Like I said, I will try to post pics.

Sounds to me like a good candidate for a Zenoah G26, do you have the wingspan measurements etc.

RE: First Gas Engine
 

I am guessing around 75, maybe more. I will also measure it when I take a picture of that engine
and the plane itself when I get home from work. Maybe someone can I.D. the both. LOL

OK, here is the pics. I was mistaken about the length. I have not measured yet, but it is at least 7 to 71/2 foot tip to tip. Can someone ID this engine? How about the kit.
The prop ended up being a 16x10 if that also helps. (Also as a ref. the TV is a 62" Projection)
