My 28% Edge has the 3w75 on it. Lemme tell ya tons of power and a dream to fly. Now I don't recommend anyone doing what I did, and I know Tom doesn't at all. I got the engine for a good price and was looking for a home for it when I buddy told me to put it in the edge. Landings slow and predecitable with out standing verticle climb. Turned out to be a good combo on the plane and with good throttle mangement flew no different then my extra with a 60 on it. Ive got a 24x8x14 prop on the 75, fixing to order a 26x10 for it and see how it does.

Has plenty of ground clearance with the 24x8x14 the lg sit kinda high already and this the stock lg. When I mounted the engine to the fire wall, I cut a cpl of peice of angle iron for extra support and put them on the inside of the engine box to help keep everything together plus help with engine vibration. I'll get some pics of it with out the cowl on and next time I fly I'll see if I can get some inflight pics.
I did some checking and found the 75Ius is about 8oz lighter then the 3w60I this based on information I found on 3w's website.

I didn't use any standoffs, I cut a few peices of wood and glued then together to get the distance I needed for the engine to mount just past the cowl once in place. I also put a cpl of 2"x2" 1/16" aluminum angle iron on the inside of the engine box to help the box stay stronger due to the extra vibration of the larger engine. I did have to make a cpl of holes in the side of the cowl for the carb needles and the bottom corner of the carb to stick out since the 75Ius as the side mounted carb on it.
