I am looking for an engine mount for a Webra 1.20.  The crankcase is 48

sticker. Something about this sounds familiar, but I can't remember what -
yet.

I've bought a Flair Fokker Dr-1 kit where the instructions are missing. If
anyone have these and would be willing to scan them, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.

I am looking for somewhere to purchase parts for and Enya 45 and an Enya 50
Engine. Same problem with both engines, rod and wrist pins. Any help would
be appreciated.

Is there some sort of basic ratio of thrust an engine and prop must make in
relation to a planes weight? I mean, say for instance a model aeroplane
weighs 5lbs... what is a good thrust ratio an engine and prop should make?
Is 50% (50% thrust over weight) a good ratio? More?
