Another Change

I found a good deal on another engine, so I am going to sell the KT-100.  The new to me engine is a Konig SC430, 3 cylinder, 2 stroke radial that makes 24 HP at 4200 rpm and it has a 1.75:1 reduction drive so I can swing a much larger prop than my ground clearance will allow if I were so inclined as to do such a silly thing.

This engine has electric start so I am starting to consider what I want to do for an electrical system.  I really like the idea of using the GenniPod on the front of the nose cone and perhaps a 15 Watt solar cell somewhere too.
