What AFFORDABLE airplane exists that would be like a tandem
Aeronca 7 or SuperCub but with a 300hp engine (or close to it)?
I was even thinking of Pitts but my strip is not only short
it's also rough.

Thanks.

How about a Murphy Super Rebel with the Russia Radial?

That ch801 looks neat, good price too, but it's not tandem.

What weight/horsepower is your 302?

The 302 is stroked to 347 cu in. The complete weight firewall forward
is 438 lbs. Thats including everything !!!!!! Horsepower can be
anything from 150 to 500 +. In its present state I am tuned to about
310 sea level hp....
