I was wondering if these engines are any good?(2.2 [email protected] pounds)
Im thinking of getting one of these 34cc size and need suggestions on a good scale cessna or warbird to put it in.
Would a Brison engine be better,this would be my first "gasser".
Any comments?

I have two of the Brison 2.4s and one Brison 3.2. A flying buddy of mine has the Fuji. There is no comparison between the two as far as I can tell. The little Fuji is much harder to start but runs very well once it gets going. Swings a 16/8 prop well and he powers a World models clipped wing cub with it in a scale like fashion. My Brison 2.4 starts usually on the 3rd flip and swings a 20/8 prop hard enough to hover a Hyde Cap X at roughly half throttle. The cap is heavier then his cub but I can't tell you the specifics. The Fuji is much easier on fuel though and both are easier on fuel then a glow motor. If you are looking for scale power & can get a good price on the Fuji, go with that. If you want more *^$@s go with the Brison. One thing though, the Fuji is a complete package, with muffler. With the Brison you get engine and ignition. The muffler is additional.

THe magneto ign Fuji 32cc and the elec. ign Brison 2.4 (39cc) are really in two difference classes. Brison will be lighter and more powerful, of course, and naturally more expensive because of the elec ign. Fuji has just come out with elec. ign versions of their 50, 64 and 86 gassers, but curiously not the 34cc.
Still, Tower has a Fall Rebate sale going on the Fujis right now. You can get a Fuji 32 for practically $200 ($299 - 20 gift cert - 50 rebate - 30 discount), which is one heck of a deal. Judging by "P-40LUVR", you're probably going to use it to power a warbird, which will likely need noseweight anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about starting wiith the magneto. A gasser this small you can just start it with a regular HD starter.
