RE: Engine for GP Christen Eagle
Hi!
I planning on purchasing a Christen Eagle as well and I've been asking about engines too. I'm hearing for weight and value, go with the DA-50. That puts the price tag up there though.
I priced out mine for $339 for the plane, $389 for the Fuji BT-64 (which I'm not happy with some of the problem starting reports) and I'm going with 3305 futaba servos. Don't know if that's a good combo but we'll see.
the Fuji weighs in at almost 5 lbs but the DA-50 is more expensive but lighter. If you're going for a weight savings then you have some expensive decisions to make.
