What can you guys tell me about engine selection? Although they are heavy I
have heard planes fly better with one than without.

Hi Dan;

We suggest you stick with traditional A/C engines, they are time proven ,
reliable and there is much information available as to mounting etc.

Hi all,

I am within months or completeing a rebuild of a Rebel once ground looped. It had an 0-320. Yesterday I acquired an 0-360 from a widow in exchange for liquidating a hanger full of parts belonging to her husband. Has anyone put the bigger engine on the rebel and what are the pro's and con's. The goal would be to eventually put the plane on amphibs.
