I'm finishing up the wing to a model of my own design, "The New American."
I'll be starting the fuselage soon. "How soon?" "Really soon."
I'd like to have the engine in house and build the fuse around it.
So, I have to make a decision soon. "How soon?" "Really soon."
Certainly, and I wish, it would be as light as the "All American," my inspiration actually, but I'm sure it will be a tad heavier. It has "things" that will add a bit of weight. The span is 52". The wing is actually a Banchee with changed tips.
I've been with R/C and I'm now newly reborn into CL. Took a while, so I don't know the engines.

I'm sure there's all favorable information written about engines from their adds and manufacturers.
This would only make my decision more difficult.
The guys that do or know speed.
What would you reccommend for "The New American." A model that is an off shoot of the All American?
Yes, as always, money is a consideration. Best bang for the buck.
