What are the spec of the plane, wingspan, fuse ? Do you have the manufacturer?

Midwest ....star .40. (Aerostar I think). Should be flyable with a .25 but made for a .40. It will fly with the .25 but will have a shorter takeoff run and be more versatile aerobatically with a .40 or .46. Also, you will probably have to add dead weight to the nose with the smaller engine to properly balance the plane.

i am not talking about my traine that has a .46 engine by the way. its a cub, its 42 inch in length and the wingspan is a huge 65-70 inch, the plane is a cub as you see on the pics. i will maybe sell the plane... I have a low wing project after my trainer. If anyone interested in that plane make me a offer. If i dont sell it it will sit there till summer. Sorry for bad english.

That Cub could use a .55-60 2st. or 90 FS size engine or electric Hacker A50.
