LOL Arch you read my mind....but I don't think he wants to spend the ZDZ kind of $$$ for that F3A motor.

PS Just re-read this and I didn't really like the way it sounded. The only way to get the performance with a gas engine is with the ZDZ40F3A, as the regular 40 is a little heavy. These planes are notoriously on the porky side and I think with a regular ZDZ40 and a smoke system....it would be flying brick (barely). The cheap Chinese motors would work ok but they are WAY heavier in relation to thier power output. And the ZDZ40F3A costs about as much as 2-3 of those planes, and that's with no exhaust....
