That all being said, I know NOTHING about these 2 cycle engines that are
reccomended for the Free Bird, Rotax and Hirth etc. 50HP or greater would be
the way to go on this plane from the designers standpoint. The weight of 4
cycles is an issue for this little bird. Heck the weight period as far as
that goes. I do know alot of us, myself included, have reservations about
the 2 cycles. but beyond that, and knowing that this plane probably will
have to use one. Let's hear suggestions and pro's and cons of the different
two strokes. I have heard good thing about the Kawasaki 440, but would like
alittle more HP. Thoughts?

And I didn't even mention the JB-1 or JN-1 plans!!!!



I seriously doubt you got room for any more irons in your fire
