Say, isn't the Christavia way too heavy for that engine?

Build it light - good lesson for a first time builder.
Don't be overloading it beyond it's design.
For a first time project, it was great. I flew it
a lot years while building other airplanes, then sold
it to a fellow who also loves it. Fly it a lot without
a back seat passenger - fly it as a single - it's not a
lot more complicated to build than a Baby Ace.
"It flies great". If you want to stretch it, and carry
a big load, or something a bit bigger, then that's
advancing beyond the first time builder envelope -
build another airplane. It flies like a feather (solo)
on 65 HP - if you want to load the back seat with
a 250 pounder, then load up a bigger engine, or
build a bigger airplane - but this is a guy who
wants to build a first time project! It's perfect!
