Hi

Im looking at maybe buying a kit, Now i would like a plane that can 3d will be easy to learn and do some very basic manouvers maybe fly a bit of imac (basic) with it.

Id like to power it with a gas engine NOT glow (if you fly alot you will have notice glow is bloody $$$)

So whats the smallest gas engine kit you can think of im thinking of maybe somthing in the 40cc range (zdz) (smaller would be nice but i have herd power to wight isnt great with the smaller 20/26cc stuff )

Anyone know of any aircraft?

Yes, there is some good stuff out there, but also some problems. Generally, if you use a engine recommended, things will be fine. Unfortunately not always the case. The 73" QQ Yak 54 is a good example. QQ recommended a Elvo 26 for his setup. If you are QQ, its borderlline. The plane is simply wonderful, and recommended. The elvo does have the power to hover and most everyting, but some things are very boarderline. The airframe is go good, its hard to loose it even with the week engine, you learn to fly out of a goof rather than power out, but again, power is limited. Go to the gasser 3D threads and find someone running a small gasser that is working well with a airframe, should be a geed match. The RC Showcase's SDS 140" is a great little motor, so is the Elvo 26 for that matter, but power in these sizes is marginal compaired to glow. Regardlss, I am sure there are good matches out there, I just have not had one myself. My QQ Yak burned from a Lipo problem, but I would have another same combo if cheep. Such a great flyer. You really have to goof up to loose one, and yes I am one of those love power guys. Keep looking, sure there are some great things available. ENJOY

The other problem is simply findin kits there are alot of arf's but few kits
