I flew my Escapade last year with a 32cc Turnigy engine. It's been a great plane. Over the winter, I bought one of those low cost AGM 55cc engines for $200 and installed it in the Escapade. It went in pretty easy. I only had to add a riser between the landing gear and fuselage to get more clearance for the 22x10 prop. I flew it for the first time today. It was a lot of fun. It was really going fast and loud. The engine ran great. It didn’t seem much different than with the 32cc except for the additional speed and noise.
