Default Max. Engine Size for Piper Cub .60

I plan to put an onboard glow system with its own battery, etc... on my Great Planes Piper Cub .60 kit. I want to put a Saito 100T opposing twin on the plane. Is this too much engine, or can I get by?

Also, how do you tune both cylinders with 2 needle valves. Do you just listen until both lean out to desired levels?

I am brand new to this as you can tell.

Thanks,

ckelloggjr

I am thinking that the twin might be a bit much for the Cub. The front ends on the Cub are small and it might be a bit of a struggle to make it all fit. If you do get it installed, throtle management is going to be a must. Good Luck, Dave
