Engine for a Seagull Yak 54

[John J. Allen]

I've been thinking of getting one of these (http://www.sussex-model-
centre.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=27186), and reckon a 1.20 four stroke
would be required, however SMC have a Thunder Tiger .91 and I wonder
would it be powerful enough.

The other choices are
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10084&Product_Name=ASP_FS120AR_Four_Stroke_Glow_Engine_,
or http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=8987,
both very cheap with good reviews.

Any comments?

There is a blog where a guy pranged his Great Planes Yak, and re-
assembled from a lot of bits. He reinforced the new fuse with a glass
fibre from a body repair kit, and epoxy resin.

Might be an idea to do that before she flies.

It'll be a while before I get it anyway. Been practising on
RealFlight, with the wind at 30mph, f*cking hilarious
