Default RE: Engine for 18lb plane


ORIGINAL: rcbill
I was wondering what Ralph's engine weight is with the total of engine and ignition and side dump muffler or broken down weights. I know mufflers vary in weight but I'm looking at a ball park figure. I don't want to hang a whole lot of weight on the nose also. I'm also wondering what props they are running and what king of RPM.....
Here ya go. I had Ralph do one up for my a while back. B&B muffler, B&B cup mount, Ralph's ignition in the mount, 4 cell 1100 mAh battey pack. 4 lb. 14 oz. If you go this route, you can buy the G62 on Ebay for like $240, ship direct to Ralph for the conversion at $175 I believe.......

I've had both the D50 and the G62, and the 62 will out pull the DA everytime.......You can hover 20 lb. with the 62 but that's it, very little left for pull out on a 95 degree day.......
