Do you need to open a hole in the cowl for the carb? That's a deal-breaker right there.

fit a DA-50, more power, smoother and has rear mounted carb so you do not need to cut the hole, or fit a 90 degreee throat to the G-62

Seriously though this model is way overpowered with the G-62, DA-50 size engines. Friend of mine flies a 1/4 scale P51 105" wingspan on a G62, I have a 42lb Vailly SeaFury @90" wingpsan so that gives you an idea of the amount of excess power you have with a G62 or a DA-50


FYI I'm fitting a DA-50 to mine.

cheers
