I have owned both and the power is not that much different--of course the 3W I had was the side mount carb, but the G62 is an underated engine. Of course by the time you buy a G62 new and add the CH ignition and a decent muffler you have as much invested as a 3W. RCing--you you have your own ignition system? If so, how do they compare to CH--quality and cost?
