RE: Giant u can do gas conversion ?????
I have seen them flown with these 3 choices and all 3 have worked out fine.
3W 28
ZDZ 40
DLE30 (this is the Minimum power I would put in one)
Other good choices would be
OS GT 33
OS GT 38 (That would be insane)
Mintor 33
Mintor 38
DA 35
3W 28
ZDZ 40
DLE30 (this is the Minimum power I would put in one)

I think a DLE 30 would rock it , depends on your budget ... and I'd be worried about over powering that thing and blowing off the tail feathers I remember my u can do didn't like fast lines
most of all i think you want a strong mid range DLE 30's are not bad motor's .
and I'd be worried about weight to don't think that was a light airplane to start with..
that's my opinion happy flying..
