Stinger engine choice
RCAddiction,
The BME 44 produces more power at a lower weight and with less vibration than the G-62. Not taking anything away from the Zenoah workhorse as it is a good engine and I have owned several. Now however with hovering and other 3D moves it requires a lighter wing loading to perform these manuvers well.
Your statement: . I'm not looking for unlimited vertical, but I'd like to be able to hover, and to pull out vertically. is a little contradicting. Being able to pull out vertically from a hover is the accepted definition of unlimited vertical. You certainly don't want to have the plane "mush" it's way out of a hover.
In your case with the above paramaters go for the 120 size stinger and have a blast!
