I would like a radial but the cost is a bit higher than I can justify. I don't understand other than demand why they cost so much more tha twins or even 4 cylinders. The Moki 250 only puts out 15 hp and the 400 25 hp but it is way up there in cost. A 3W 210 dual electronic ignition twin is almost 21 hp and is heavy. I think that is what I will end up having to go with and a dummy radial up front. Here is the Dummy Radial I custom built for the Corsair when I had my 3W 200 twin. The prop shaft hole is already cut out for the 210. I included a pic of part of my wing joiner system but remember I still have to add one more receiver so it will be 9" long plus the spar will be 19" long. The receivers are welded together for ease in initial alignment and attachment. Also here is my fuel jug that is 55+ oz. and it is big. I have to try and fit that in behind the engine. It will fit but only after some removal of some of the cross braces that were used to keep the crutch in the proper shape until the formers were permanently glued in. I won't have to remove the hole cross member but it will need to have a concave area for the tank and foam to rest on.
