Question EAA Biplane engine question

I just ordered a Balsa USA EAA biplane kit and I would like to use my DLE 20 cc engine. I was wondering if this is a good choice. If not, what would you recommend from experience. Thanks

Skip,

I think it is a good choice. I recommend you move the firewall back 2-1/2 to 3" to improve balance. That airframe is not designed for the weight of that engine.

Have fun!
