I built one last year and I fly mine with an OS .15 swinging an 8x3 prop. This is a fast plane originally designed for club pylon racing. Be careful when building the wing as I found the wood parameters that came in the box not to match the plans and also have plenty of sandpaper :) On the serious side, if you are not up to speed on taxiing a tail dragger get some help because this plane is evil on the ground. I tried all the suggestions but it is still a pain so I just hand launch. With the .15 it does take about 20 feet before it picks up enough speed to manuever properly. Overall it is a fun plane.
