RVM,

I don't know about the ZDZ and Tarus engines, but I do know about Brillelli engines and their power is just a good as any of them. Their support after the sale is the best in the business. I have even called them on a Sunday at the field and Scott called me back within 15 minutes with the answer I needed to my problem. I don't think you will find customer support like that from other manufactures.

I fly the Brillelli 40GT with a APC 20x8 prop. It is turning that 20x8 prop at 7100RPM and is giving 18lbs of thrust. My Giles-202 weigh's in at 12lbs 10oz and is a rocket. I am not into 3D flying, but with a weight to power ratio I have I am pretty sure she will hover. I am not that good of a flier yet to try 3D.

Brillelli makes 3 engines that should work for you. The 40GT, 46, and the new 366GT. The 366GT is over kill I believe, but it would work. It is only a couple of onces heavier than a DA50, but the engine is a 60cc power house. Go to www.brillelli.com and look at the engines. Give Scott a call and he will tell you right up front which engine is best suited for your plane. Every one who has every had a brillelli engine is a customer for life. The support after the sale is unbelievable.
