Default MVVS 28,TT pro36 or GMS 32?

I want to convert my multiplex skycat ( 1mt wspan) from electric to glow. Glow conversion suggested by multiplex is a .20-.25 2 stroke engine, but considering that the suggested electric version (permax600 3:1) sucks, I am thinking about the following engines:
MVVS 28 1,1/17000
TT pro 36 1,1/17000
GMS 32 1,2/18000
these engines seem to have very similar characteristics, but I find that also an OS 40 LA has the same horsepower and weighs even less ... please help.

thank you
david

Don't stare at those horsepower indications... because they have very little practical meaning in real life.

What you should be looking at is weight... how much weight can you afford to have up front?

For this conversion I would suggest either the Webra Speed 25 at 235 grams or the Webra Speed 32 at 250 grams... thats' just about as light as you can go with very good power and running characteristics...

thank you Rudeboy!

I did some research and Webra seems to make excellent engines, especially the speed 32 , but I couldn't find what the weight is with the muffler and also I wasn't able to find a webra dealer in Italy, could you please help me find where I can get one (on-line) in Europe?

thank you

I have the MVVS .28, and their .40. The .28 with a mini pipe is very powerful. The .40 on the other hand is a Dog with the stock quiet pipe on it. If it had a mini pipe also though, I can tell it would also have alot of power. MVVS makes great engines!
