Thanks Bubba!
I never did find the owner of the Cap to ask what it was... He had a 4 banger in it maybe a 1.80?
It's not uncommon to see those with a Moki 2.10, Saito 1.50 to 1.80, ZDZ-40, BME50 or the BME44 if you can still find one, and finally a DA-50.
Mine started life with a Roto35Vi but it was just a tad too heavy for the plane so I had a NIB OS160, Same HP, almost 1.5lbs lighter and it really woke up the plane. I have a YS1.60DZ on order that's going into the Cap. Same output as the DA-50 but again 1.5 lbs lighter and the added benift of turning the exact same props as a DA-50.
From the pics, there was a nice selection of planes there. I wasn't aware FlyingThingZ had released the flying dog house yet, but I have seen the witch and the lawnmower. There's a review that just came out here on RCU about the lawnmower.
You'll love getting into to bigger planes. They fly way smoother but they do take some getting used to as depth perception on landing changes. You'll discover that you are actually further away than you think and faster than you think. You probably already discovered that with your stick.
If you want to get used to gas and if memory serves me, yours is the 120 size stik. Contact RCIGN1 (Ralph Cunningham) He makes a Zenoah G-26 that's been converted to electronic ignition that he sells for around $400.00 and it will turn a Mejzlik 18X6 prop at close to 9000 rpm with 17Lbs or pull and the complete package weighs around 2lbs 11oz ready to fly. It's well documented here on RCU that this engine on the 120 Stik flies very well and will hover it at about 1/3 throttle and use 1/2 the fuel you are using now on glow so you can save weight by going to a smaller tank.
I have 3 of his engines, 2 G-26's and a G-62 and I use 12oz tanks on the 26's and get an easy 20 minutes at about 1/2 throttle and on the 46 I have a 14oz tank with about the same burn rate.
The 2 26's reside in a Greaty Planes Super Stearman and a Goldberg SU-26, the 62 was going into a WH Ultimate but I'm gonna stuff it into the Great Planes Matt Chapman Cap580 1/3 scale I just got
