I would appreciate some assistance deciding on a gas engine for a plane which I have had NIB for some time now. The specifications are below:-

I have available a MLD 28cc gas engine and would like to know if there would be any major concern/issue with installing this engine in the model. From what I have seen the recommended 120 4-stroke engine weighs between 31.7 oz and 35.3 oz for an ASP FS120 or OS FS120 respectively. Comparatively, the MLD 28cc weighs 33 oz.

Thanks

My Feedback: (65)

A friend of mine flys that plane with a dle 20 and it will almost hover the plane. For barnstorming it does a great job. If I had both engines on hand I would go with the 28- I like hot rods!

Thanks for your straight up feedback, just what I'm looking for. I rather like the idea of making this baby a hot rod.
