Yes Geoffs not far off except I dont have to chop the firewalls up.Ive been considering Saito 170's all along and just have to do is a bit more testing on the one I have before I get another one.They have adaquate power with an onboard glow system which I'm still working on.It'll be a switch on/switch off system using a 4000 mah batterys,I still haven't made a final decision but I'm close.I have to make the cowls just a fraction larger to accomodate these but basically you won't notice the difference in size.The way I see it is ,I'll have radial engines that are easy to start(1 flip),are reliable(with onboard glow),have more than enough power(I flew a 20lb SR9 with one),they have almost zero vibration,they sound great,sure they eat the fuel but who cares,I'll have clean cowls with no engine cutouts except for cooling exits.So I'll just have to make some cowls up and see how it all ends up....
