My AVRO monoplane is of a similar type to the Taube.

It is 76"span and weighs 5lbs, wet. Lots of drag.

The model has a Saito .45. ... which is a nice, modest power . I don't believe that I've ever had to use full power, so there is some in reserve ... after all, your Taube is a bit bigger than my model.

You can be confident that it will be fine in your model.

Thanks Bob, I have a Saito 45 that I bought from Alan, he would know what condition it's in. It's still in the UK with my sister.
Do it now, you may never get another chance

He removed a Saito 50 but the 52 sump is to big to fit.Dont want to start altering it if a 40 which I understand it was built around fits ok. :silly:
