    My PC (more likely ISP ) doesn't play nice with YT, so I just see a blank section under your text.
    If/when I do see something to comment on, I promise to do so, OK?

    Gordo maybe try this link, it's a (moki) 400cc 5 cyl radial engine and you need to hear it! I'd pay to go listen it fly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMpTi8l7qco

    Thanks it was my first non glider plane. I love gliders.

    Nah he has a 2 bladed prop on a 150cc Twin piston motor. The radials do sound great but at the end of the day I would rather save money whenever possible.
    I have flown some single piston gas planes and some nitros and while I love gas engines in my RC trucks/cars... I don't like them as much when it comes to planes. It is such a pain in the ass to transport a gas plane and all of the supplies... I like balsa but I like foam even more especially since companies are making ultra dense epo (almost composite like) with carbon spars and fiberglass rods embedded for strength and tension.

    I just ordered one of these bad boys 2 days ago >:) cant wait!

    I also want a fiberglass glider (with a folding prop/motor) but this guy IS INSANE!! How can he control the plane going 400+ ?!?!

    Thanks for the update on the post, CK, I've seen that engine before.
    There used to be a company with flat four and six cylinder engines as well, 20 and 30CC, but haven't checked if they're still in production.
