Default Best smaller gas engine to replace 1.2 4 stroke

The engine weight to power crossover etc---seems to be at 40 cc--
as for the glow stuff over a 1.2- they just are to hungry for my tastes anymore.
my favorite gasser so far is the lowly ZDZ60 - with a RCS can on a very short header .
extremely quiet and turns a MenzS 24x10 at 6200 here and the Mejzlic 24x10 at 6500.
extremely smooth - cheap - etc.
the 40 RE ZDZ is my "pattern plane" engine- it will all fit in a 3" wide cowl - if req'd - very strong - and on a pipe very quiet -
It looks like other manufacturers are now getting on board the rear induction bandwagon - so we will probably see even more higher performance, light weight gas stuff.
The winner this time is -- the customers!
