A while back I posted a question about four stroke motors, as I was planning
to scratch build one. I'd no intention of flying the thing (see link)

but simply to see if I could actually build something that runs. Lots of learning along the way, but with new confidence started to plan the build of a .60(ish) v-twin four stroke. The design is supposed to be able swing a 12x6 prop at 8000 rpm, so not a screamer, but what sort of model?
Here is one of these engines I found on Youtube:

All I need now is workshop time (the last took nearly two years!), hopefully get this done for next summer.
I'm thinking of something like an Eindekker or DVIII as a sport scale? I haven't flown RC in many years, and would intend to find a local seasoned flyer so model choice needn't be restricted by flying skill (I prefer building...)
So you seasoned flyers what would you do with a .60 v-twin at the lower end of the power output range?
TIA
