What is the right engine?
I just got a set of plans for a Corsair with wings over eight feet in length. Can any of you Giant Scale guys give me a suggestion as to engine size. The plans came without documentation and I'm curretntly stumped..
This is going to be my winter project this year and I need the info to start buying parts.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

What's it supposed to weigh? I know you don't have the documentation but it's important to know. That will have a lot to do with it.
Right off the bat I'd guess a ZDZ 80. This engine flies a 28lb Edge 540 with plenty of authority. If you have the bucks, try a 3W-100.
Again, it depends on the weight.
