Engine for Cessna Cardinal (Aviomodelli) 212 cm

[Mick Hoey]

I have just bought a Cessna Cardinal from Aviomodelli with a 212 cm
wingspan. I'm looking for an engine to my model; it has to be a
4-stroke engine!
Does anybody have any experience with this model and the engine for
it?
I'm thinking an engine with 2 cyllindres, is this possible? And which
make should I buy? I want to use the model to haul a glider!

Sincerely

M. Hoey

OS 91 Surpass is enough, 120 to the max, the big Aviomodelli is a little
heavy but beautiful on flight.

What about this engine
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/description.asp?prod=SAIE182TD&pc=SAIE182TD
It's a 2 cyl 29,98 ccm from Saito with twin plugs, it weights 1,040 g
and has 2.8 hp. Is it two big or heavy?
It's possible to use a OS FT-160 fourstroke 27 ccm, see here:

The twin cylinder Saito 100 would be good for that. The others you
mentioned are a bit too much and weigh a lot more. My experience with Saito
twins is limited to the .90 twin. The carbs were very difficult to get
synchronized and I had a lot of problems with one cylinder quitting at low
throttle. I finally installed on board glow drivers and that cured it.
