20 lb, 23hp 400cc 5 clyinder radial.

This engine has got to be getting close to bridging the gap between
ultralight and RC (understanding it is expensive for an ultralight)

What could you do with this? twin engine PBY ultralight? (twin because,
reliability?)



Would it work on this plane? ...it's a twin.

I believe the Cri-Cri flew with 2 8 HP chainsaw engines.

So.....why do you have to mix the oil and gas for this "4-cycle"
engine?

Excelent question...
Maybe there is no oil bath/sump (like other common 4 stroke RC engines)
