When I left the hobby 5 years ago I could hang a Funtana on its prop till the fuel ran out. Also did combat flying so IN MY PRIME I was pretty good. Now? No idea. That's what I'm hoping to accomplish with these sport type ARFs.
I was considering the 10CC Gas option from EVO because glow prices are ridiculous here. 15% cool power is 30 bucks! I looks like people are saying step up one size to a DLE20. The issue I have with that is my car doesn't have folding back seats so whatever plane I get, the airframe will have to fit in the front seat - albeit reclined. I don't have an issue with spending a couple of extra bucks for a bigger plane and engine if it would fit.
I also have a practically new SAITO 150 that I could use but again, glow prices would kill me. I guess I could do a gas conversion on it, but that's a different thread.
One thing about the DLE20 I like is that I could later on move it to the Aero Works 90 YAK - beautiful plane.
