That is one beast of an engine. I like the sound of four strokes.

Thanks! I do too especially the twins. This however is not a true "boxer" type twin instead it has more relation to that of a V-twin than a boxer. (has a single throw crankshaft with two rods sharing the pin) This engine is really a 180deg V-twin and sounds like an angry Harley lol its a power house. I'm building a Sig 1/4 scale cub that's gonna have an OS Gemini 160 twin. Smile

That would be a sight to see. Build it as a C/L and strap yourself to a pole in a very large field. lol!

That FA100 is a beautiful thing.......

That would be a sight to see probably would be like hooking a full size Cessna to the lines. I can just see it now "Hey MA! I need some help carrying my arms through tha' door!!" Ma face palms lol!

But yup, it is beautiful piece of engineering and it is a power house once you get it set up that is (Got to balance the carbs which can be a trick)
