Default RE: help choosing which nitro engine

Charlie P, yeah I know Super Tigre makes engines are good but they weigh almost twice what the other two I'm looking at do. So due to CG / flipping the boat over Super Tigre just isn't my best option on this one...

ORIGINAL: nitro wing
Dont seem to recall many GMS engines in aircraft,but could be wrong.
That's interesting... they have a full line of airplane engines just like the other companies so I figured they'd be fairly common since their prices seem to be the cheapest. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...S+++&search=Go

Edit: I just discovered GMS has 2.5 hp and 15,000 rpm, Tower is 2.2 hp, 15,600 rpm, maybe that could help someone decide which engine I would benefit from more?
Also I need to get some of my facts straight. The 20 oz. GMS engine, that's without muffler, other weights I gave were with muffler. Also the super tiger may weigh a fair amount more but I don't know what I was thinking when I said double, not even close...
Thanks.
