Well it has a pretty large engine range.... really depends if you want scale flight or some power for mild acrobatics?

For scale you would be fine with the Brillelli 46.

I did some research (I dont really know that plane) and there are a fair amount of guys flying them with G-62s. The nice thing is you can always throttle back so if you went with the Brillelli 50 or the 366GT you would have an engine that would work in a broader range of planes down the line.

If you want acrobatics I would def. grab the 50.



Ignition is battery operated. There is what's calls a HALL (sp) sensor and a magnet on the back of the prop hub. Everytime that magnet and HALL Sensor pass eachother it triggers the spark.

A basic outline for starting is simply close the choke, go to full throttle, with the ignition on and start flipping. Flip it till it pops once (tries to start). Then go to idle and flip 3-5 more times and she is running.


Hope this helps... I'm off too go play with my GT 366 and 46 right now
