RE: 3W Engines
3W are good engines. I work them hard in my research project and they keep running. Sizes include 24 cc - 212 cc. Other brands have not held up as well

RE: 3W Engines
I have 3W-24, 3W-75, 3W-80xi, 3W-106QQ all run flawless I also have a DA50 - it runs flawless as does the numerous DA-100s I have set up as have all the ZDZs... come to think about it... So does that BME 110...
There is of course always that chance of an occasional lemon from every manufacturer.... but I have yet to see one...

3W-80TOC, 3W-100, 3W-106TOC, 3W-106QS, 3W-150, all in planes except the old 150, it's being built. No issues except one ignition. If you can't properly set up an engine, You'll have problems and then come on here bashing a product. If you can you'll enjoy the power. If you can't, buy a DA and Dave will do it for you..BTW, my 2-DA-100's and my DA-150 run perfectly also...I need a 157
The new 3W-55 I have here is awesome, it's patiently waiting for flying weather..

RE: 3W Engines
There are many fine motors out there
I can't wait to get my new 3W 80i up and flying! If it works as well as the 3W 60 I had it will be sweet!

RE: 3W Engines
When it comes to 3W it seems people either swear by them or swear at them. I own six. I have seen them come with defects right out of the box. In general I think they are very good engines. I also like my zenoahs.
