reliable and powerful .45-.50
Im looking for an engine to put into a 40 size pattern type plane. I want the plane to move along at a nice clip and dont want to dead stick it in all the time. My first thought was a 50sx but it seems that there are some that are better and cheaper. Price is part of it though so I dont think ill be in the market for a jett 50. (I WISH)

RE: reliable and powerful .45-.50
For < $100 I say TT Pro-46
For just over $100 I say Irvine-53
For a little more the YS-45/ MVVS-49 and Webra-50 are great engines---

TT46,irvine 46 or 53 I have all 3 cannot go wrong with any of them the TT46 I believe is less$$
MVVS also great I think just a bit heaver however, Paul at JE has has listed the new MVVS 45
its about 60 brit pounds 60x.85 (removes the VAT) x1,85 exchange rate plus$10 shipping
is approx $105

RE: reliable and powerful .45-.50
I agree with you, ripzone.
I'm talking only about this engine. No fault with others brands or engines.
Last week i finish break-in of my 46AX
Yesterday i measured with tach:
smooth transition, idle, plenty of power (turn APC 10x6 at 13.8k - 10% nitro 18% klotz STP) and very reliable.Very low noise with standard (P-BOX) muffler but heavier than older.
About 600 rpm more with Tower muffler.
With needles set-up properly, you can be amazed of throttle response: superb and instantly.
Great engine.

Super Tigre g-51, cheap and powerful.
Mine swing 12x4 and 12x6 with great throttle response, no problem with parts and service and overall performance is great.
The weight is like 45-46 engine but more power.

If you don't mind breaking in an engine with care and want an engine you can leave to your grandkids and exceptional warranty and parts support, go with one of the Enya 50's. I got the SS and the CX. Both are excellent engines. Not the Jett's or YS's in performance but its certainly equal to the Irvine 53 and OS 50 size engines.

More power and a motor that will be running 6 months from now.
Hey Myway do you own one I have had mine for over a year now and it has never missed a beat and 2 guys at my field have had theirs for 3 years and they still run like new.
