Im in Northern Utah and im a big guy and would like to add more HP to my starduster too project.
Do i need to move the landing gear forward to do this?
What engine mount are would you use? or custom build one?
What fabric would you use to cover this Monster? and would you change the Wings to something else like say the 2312 airfoils?

Thanks this is my project for the next few years and would love to turn this girl into a real monster.
It was flying when i purchased it, but had some fabric holes that yes i could have repaired but wanted to do a full restoration as the paint was 30 yard paint. and needed some rigging work anyway.
