Status: offline 		I would like some input on engines like the 3W 75 and the ZDZ 80. Are there any bad tendencies with the ZDZ? Throttle transition, etc. Thanks.

Plenty of power, and very reliable. Good ignition setup (shielded).

I like my 80's so much I'm considering buying two ZDZ50's for a twin project.

Status: offline 		The problem I have with ZDZ is the availability. I wanted a ZDZ 50 but did not wish to wait. I could not even get a promise date. I decided on a 3W50 but have not started it yet. My brother has a new 3W75 that runs great and is strong. Hope I made the right choice. John

The 3W 50 is a good and powerful engine. It is heavier than the ZDZ 50 but also a bit stronger. I have had 2 of the 3W 50s for 3 years and I like them as engines. I think you will too.

I used a 3W-48 twin on my 80" cap. It flies like a dream and balanced without any extra wt. It also has unlimited vertical at 50-75% throttle. The 50 is more powerful but has more vibration than the 48 twin. The construction may be a little light for a large single cylinder engine.
