Default RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!

Here's my take on the bigger engine - having flown the WH Edge 540 with a seasoned G-62 extensively: IMAC all day, perfect. 3-D OK (but I'm no 3D expert). Get some heavier landing gear, or beef up the factory stuff. Use a single, strong rudder servo in the tail. It flew best on a Vess 23A prop FYI.

When I sold the G-62 and invested in the TOC-53 - I shed nearly two pounds total, and now this airplane is a monster. It will do stuff that I never imagined I could do with any airplane. I spent about $200 on props, landing gear, repairs, etc. trying to get what I wanted out of the '62 - and it never really got there. Looking back, I should have gone right to the TOC 53. When I made the jump, Tom gave me a very good deal on the engine, a couple of Bunny props and a new cowl.

You will love the thing with the Fuji. Get a lighter engine and you'll become downright obsessed.

My two cents.
