Stinger 120 and Saito 182 twin. A good combo?
So what do you guys think? I would like to get into the big stuff and love the sound of a 4 stroke twin. Will this engine be enough? Will it be too much? Has anyone ever built one of these planes? What did you power it with? Pictures?

that engine is quoted as spinning a 16x8 at ~9500 rpm, more then enough for this plane! (although if you want someone to test it out, just send that engine over here, my stinger 1.20 would love to take it for a test drive! [8D] )

I've had that engine, it is not recommended to turn over 8,000. It is heavy, you would get more power out of a 1.80 single. If you ever looked at the connecting rods of the 182 you wouldn't want to turn it 9200. They are connected to the some spot on the crank, (like a Harley engine), single pin crank. The inner rod is mighty small.
If you already have the engine, I would go for it. makes a sweet sound.
