I like the older engines and in many ways they are better; you just have to pick the right project for the engine or engine for the project.

Not at all. The engines you have are very nice. Enya, Moki and Webra.......... None of those engines are turds. All fine quality angines and I would use what you have on hand.

I wouldn't buy new engines. My initial reaction was that the 1.20 engines wouldn't do the job. But everyone else seams to be about 95% in agreement that either the Webra 1.20 2-strokes or the Enya 1.20 4-strokes would do the job. You have 2 of each engine. I'd pick one of those. The 4-strokes would probably sound a lot better and would be more efficient on fuel. Given the choice between the Webra or the Enya, I'd probably use the Enya engines as long as you already have 2. They will fly it.

If it weighs 20 pounds when you're done then you will need those 1.20 engines.

I only have one Enya 120R. the other Enya is a 120.

I would have to look for and purchase another Enya 120R. Mine is NIB.

I guess the Moki 1.8 is a bit large for the job, especially for a 80" twin?

Shoot man, I'd use the Webra 1.20 engines then. You got 2 already. They are lighter than the Moki 1.80 engines. Everybody else seams to think the Enyas or Webras will turn the 14" props. I know Master Airscrew makes a 14-7 prop in 3-blade configuration. Probably work just fine.

RC Pilot,

One of my Webra 1.2 is a rear exhaust engine. I forgot about that. The other is a ringless Speed 120. I would have to look for another 120 Speed without the ring.

The most important thing is the project your trying to develop. the sound produced by a 2 stroke is more appropriate for a warbird type plane while the 4 stroke fits wwI or slower civilian type planes. I love the sound of 4 strokes but not on a quickie or formula 1 style of plane. the next thing to consider is that 4 strokes run better standing up while two strokes can be on their side or up-side-down. whatever you decide good luck.
