3rd scale Sopwith Pup engine selection
I picked up a 16 year old unbuilt Balsa USA 3rd scale pup kit and I've started building it all is going well and now i want to make an engine selection. my choice is this one, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBY70&P=0 but was wondering if it would have enough snot to pull it. this is my first plane this size so im alittle unsure of myself, lol. when i saw that big ***** cowl i knew i had to have a raidal in there so woud i be better off with this, http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...dID=SAIE450R3D .

A friend has one with a GT-80, and as stated, it's good combination. More power than needed, but smooth, and the additional weight of the twin, just means less nose wieght.
