I know that the engine forum is probably the best place to ask this question but since the G-62 is a recommended engine for this plane----What size prop and how fast does it turn with the G-62??? Power wise, how does the G-62 stack up against other engines in the 55 to 70cc catagory. (Like, say a ZDZ-60??) If the power is roughly the same then I guess that weight is the only drawback to the G-62.
I'm running a G-62 on a Giant Stinger which will be finding a new home in the Wild Hare Edge!
It's turning a Mejzlik 22 x 10 at 7700 plus. Yanks my 20 lb even Stinger around like nothing. Can't wait to put it on the Edge with an all up weight of 17 lb. So far, the best numbers I've seen on the Da 50 and the Mejzlik prop are 7200. I also just got my G62 back from Ralph at RC Ignitions. Runs great. Firewall ready with B&B mount, muffler, and battery, 4 lb. 14 1/2 oz.
