RE: FRL45 Gas engine Whats the verdict?
I ordered it Thursday and got it tuesday, not bad for Hong Kong to Texas USA.
Ive not run it yet but may have found a plane for it.
Ive only weighted it complete in box, Includes motor, muffler, large tool, spark pug and included spark plug tool 4.14 pounds.
As everyone has said the muffler isnt anything pretty however the part that would usually show is ok, in a cowl the heavy welds wont show also i think the muffler is probally REALLY strong as the welds at thick and have not been grinded down like most are.
Motor has double rings on the piston, has Walbro carb and Electronic ignition that looks very simnilar to DA, it says its auto advancing and has a good quality cap on the lead for the Plug.
Once you set the choke it turns off when you throttle up automatically, Nice i think. ( easy to disable if you dont want)
Hopefully ill get to fly it soon, im very anxious and ill report props and rpm and other comments.
In looking at the motor i cant find anything that would make me think bad.
I have 2 DA's and there certinally great but I think this one might compare well ........
