Two things: Has anyone seen this engine? Man what a thing of beauty!!!!!!!
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/170-3-cylinder-radial-kk-SAIE170R3 Also There was a gentleman at the club last week with me with glasses, very tall, who always flies his piper cub with the $89.00 stabilizer in it. He has a Slavic accent....Does anybody know who I am talking about? I know I am vague but I would like him to contact me via the site via private email. I would liek to ask him something....thanks for your help in advance. :D

Could be Matthias Ernzerhof. If he had a big tray radion, that's him for sure

Those radials (or part radial) are nice but very expensive! This one I saw quit a few years ago in a review in a Balsa USA 1/4 scale Pup looked scale.

Nice engine in deed. Also think about the amount of glow fuel this will ask for.
A single cylinder Saito 100 burns a gallons of glow fuel in 2 hours... at 28.00 box a gallon tax included it is becoming expensive.

So this biggy will give you a consumption around 1 Gal. /Hour.
It is something to consider cost wise.
For my part I consider flying any engine bigger than 1 cu. in ( 20 cc at up) on gasoline.\
This was my 2 cents.
