Good old Ddotson with the roter cuff injury, how ya doing man? It would be good to see you suck up an put a can on it.

After reading the other thread you were beefing on I was troubled enough about what you said that I called Copperhead an talked to Tim about your percieved grievences. After hearing the other side of the story let just say I have a hard time believing much you say. Your particular 30cc engine seems to have been the most powerful one they have ran to date.

I have had two of the 45 cc engines an they both ran beautifully. Tim even shipped me two new mufflers free of charge when they were having some trouble with them. He also shipped me a nut an washer I had lost......free of charge. Last time I checked thats called good customer service!!!!!!!

Like Novabill said earlier I had a vid somewhere TRing a WH Extra with the 45 an thats an 18+lb plane. I was also using a 22x8 Zinger that was cut down to 21 inches or so to put it in the rpm range it liked. Sucky prop made even suckier by cutting the tips off.

Is this engine going to go head to head with one of the $600 engines that still require you buy a $75 muffler? Nope not even going to try to make the comparison.

Now do you want 95% of the performance at half the price? If so this is your engine. Its also about 6-8oz lighter then a DA 50 so it works out great with the newer crop of planes that are in the high 70 low 80 inch range that come in around 14-15 lbs. On my 18 lb WH it would do all the stuff but was getting anemic for the power I like but it did have unlimited verticle from a hover even though it was slow. It would IMAC a plane that weight fine up through the first few classes an probably beyond.

Disclaimer Im not part of Copperhead an I also own a DA-50
