The following is the reasons I called them skewed:
1. Above you say that you can take 8oz off the Zenoah with a aluminum muffler and have a 62 ounce engine.
2. Also you did not add the weight for some kind of mount, whether it be standoffs, cup mount or hardwood dowels, either way you add a couple ounces.
3. If the guy starting this post is going to use a spring starter it is even more weight.
4. Also as I stated above, the extra weight over a Brillelli 36 is probably going to require lead to balance, that is extra weight not accounted for.
Brillelli quotes their RTF weight as engine, ignition, standoff, muffler. Does not include battery.
Be perfectly honest I could not care less what engine the originator of this thread chooses, I am just giving my opinion and have no desire to get in a pissing contest. I hope FASTBALL48 has good luck with whatever engine he chooses.
Apparently, you can't read.
I USED 70oz engine weight when calculating the Zenoah engine weight. 
I didn't subtract anything for the aluminum muffler. I SPECIFICALLY said, STOCK G38 at 70oz.
Again, he doesn't need a spring starter on a G38. You're just using that to justify calling the Zenoah a POS. Talk about grasping at straws................
It doesn't NEED a mount. It comes from the factory with an engine mount that is INCLUDED in the RTF weight advertised. Apparently, you can't click a link either.
He won't need lead to balance it. It's easy to move a battery back under the cockpit to balance a plane. No lead required. Funny you just mentioned lead in this post. No mention of lead before this one.
I hope he has fun with his new plane too. I'd snatch that Zenoah and go fly it.
I'm done with this thread.
