I have some video of a fellow flying this plane with 4 strokes. Its been quite awhile but I remember they were the smallest size available at the time. Maybe OS 26s. Flew great with plenty of power. Sounds cool too.

A friend built one of those several years ago, powered by four old crossflow OS .25's and it had more than enough power. His wasn't particularly light, either.
