ReconRat Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 There are some small 20+hp twin cylinder RC engines that are light weight and run on unleaded.Four of those would be 80hp output. And they turn a 30 or 32 inch prop @7500rpm. About right for scaling up.Unfortunately they cost about $1200.00 each... argh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
