I am thinking about using a Suzuki SV650 engine on the plane I am currently building. They have a very solid reputation for reliability; and after a lot of research with my brother (a motorcycle guru), I think it has the best reputation, weight, HP, liquid cooled and '03 and after are all fuel injected. I will lock it in the gear I calculate to give the best prop RPM and strip the rest of the gears to save more weight. Any one have thoughts or concerns I might have overlooked-? I have spent the last few years asking lots of questions and doing a tremendous amount of research on this subject. If this works, I may use the big brother of the SV650, the SV1000 and mount it on my next project- CH750
