Hi Mike if that 38 wont fly that model I dont think anything will, as I said previously not a speedster but lots of torque to turn larger or higher pitch props should give you good scale like performance..

(Mike) - Just noticed your post. Have you flown the Brown Racer since the rebuild?
The ST2500 is quite a hunk of lead in such a small airframe.... LOL

I've adopted one that unfortunately needs some rebuilding, 73" span, approx. 1/3 scale that had a Saito 150 with an ignition upgrade. What size is your's and what prop are you running?

Had one for while, I have it mounted in a Great Planes Curtis P6e, swings a 20x6 at around 6800 7000 rpm. It's not an engine for a 3D model but has lots of torgue and pulls my Curtiss around at 3/4 throttle plenty fast enough, in fact perfect for scale type models,
easy on gas to, make sure you run it in a little and take your time setting the carb, it may need a plug change after a few tanks until it gets really broken in.
Juat bought it's litt;e brother the four stroke 30 gasser hope its as reliable as the 38, keep ya posted..
