It was more commonly used before the 20's were available?
I agree 100%.....I have 2 of the Funtana 125's. One with a SAP180 30cc and one with the DLE 20cc. The 20cc model flys like it did with the Saito 1.25 4s but with more authority and power. The one with the SAP180 30cc is way over powered. It takes off around half throttle and flys at half throttle most of the time. Due to equipment on board, the 30cc model weighs 11.5 lbs the one with the 20cc weighs 9.5 lbs.
