Default RE: engine help please what to do
What is different about F.P.E engines that makes them less powerful and not so good on throttle response?
ORIGINAL: H. Wayne S

First Place make a very good engine. Very reliable. I have two and love them on the planes they are on. But- you have to look at the application of the engine your considering. I don't think you will be happy with a FPE on a 260. I would go for the BME, ZDZ, or Brison. DA Makes a great engine but they seem to be having a little trouble with there 50cc. (Read/scan this forum.)
If you want a great engine for any high wing aircraft, the FPE is great. For throttle response and raw power, go with the ZDZ, BME, 3W, or Brison.
Just my $00.02
