    Status: offline     		It sure wouldnt be cheap and from my experiences with my saito 100, it would bbe dounright expensive, I pay the price on my funtana 90 that I fly soo much and I am only 15, 30% is too darn expensive!!!

    but the da 50 would be cheap fuel wise, I wonder how much the evolution is and whats it's weight and thrust compared to the DA 50?

    anyone know

    Crankshaft Threads: M10 x 1.25 mm
    Benchmark Prop: Mejzlik 24 x 10 @ 6,900

    Crank Type: Ball Bearing

    and heres the DA50 gasser specs:
    Displacement: 3.05 ci. (50cc)
    Output: 5 hp
    Recommended Props:
    2-blade: 22x10, 22x12, 23x10, 24x8.
    3-blade: 20x10, 20x12, 22x10 narrow.

    Length: 6.7" (170mm) (total with stand-off mounts)

    Reed valve.
    Desert Aircraft auto advance electronic ignition.

    But heres the thing, the DA is $50 cheaper, but as you may have noticed, the evo has more power, but this engine will come out in may, but the plane will be out for a month before the evo!! Plus, we already know that the DA50 is reliable, and we know nothing about this evo

    Status: offline     		I think that the 58 would push the wing-loading up too far. In the MVVS line (manufacturers of Evolution) the new 45cc engine would be a better choice. The 45 is a pound lighter than the 58 with a wide, flat power curve. Factory numbers suggest that this engine is competitive with other European 60s!

    I only wish they gave this plane an 80" wing span so it would qualify for "Big Bird" and IMAA events!

    Status: offline     		So u are gonna compete with it?

    anywais I think I will stick with the DA 50, I seems to me that lighter is better, I think that it could pull the plane around very well for how much the plane weighs, I never really liked the look of the evolutioin engines and thought that they weighed alot and were underpowered.

    do you think that Hitec's 5645 digitals will be enough for this monster.
