I have a few partial kits actually. 2x V2 bodies, 1x V1. I'm using the V2's. Now you have me thinking again. A Saito 62 will squeeze in quite nicely. I'm just looking for casual/sport flying, nothing too wild. I might need to make a slight cutout in the firewall for a little more carb clearance, but I think we're talking millimeters here which is where a spinner with an offset backplate might give me the little extra required. Actually, when I think about it, I could glue a balsa or ply ring to the front of the cowl for a few extra mm as well. I do like the sound of the 4-strokes.
