Went flying yesterday...flew my DD stunt plane, designed around an .061, with a TeeDee .049--on 48' lines--which pulled it as well as the .061 ever did.  that is one strong little engine.  This is a big plane: 34" span, 250 sq. in.  Flies beautifully. 

Also flew one of my SkyWriters with my newly-rebuilt Holland Hornet mounted on it.  Pics below show how the last flight ended [sigh].  Anyone have any spare Hornet parts?  I love this little engine; have now blown it up twice.  didn't think I was pushing it that hard, maybe 18000rpms (well, maybe 19) but it should hold up to over 20.  Maybe I'll make it a shelf exhibit...

Hmmm, dunno, I'll check. Thanks.

Sorry, out of spares.  However I have a running search on e-Bay for "Holland Hornet" and there are several hits a week.  Having had my last 'Hornet powered model self-destruct, I am toying with the idea of putting in on your Geo kit.  What do you think?

If yours runs anything like mine did, it will be *plenty* of power.  Maybe use a 5.5/2 or so prop to keep the speed manageable--the LilGeo is a rather small plane, designed with the Cox sure-start in mind.  Having said that, I've been flying one of mine with a Norvel .049 on 45' lines, & it does very well.
