I think it would. It is mentioned in the instructions as a light weight alternative to the G-62 and it seems to have about the same power.

The DA is a good runner for, but I've seen a G62 rip a 21 1/2 pound plane out of a hover using a 20x8 standard Zinger. Would the DA do the same? Don't know for sure.

Yes, it would just cost more.

You'd probably have to putthe 2 elevator servos up under the cockpit to keep it in balance.

THINKING ABOUT USING A FUJI 64 ELECTRONIC VERSION. WOULDNT HAVE TOO CONVERT A G-62 OVER AND ABOUT THE SAME PRICE. I RUN A FUJI 32 MAGNETO 18X8 PROP 14.5LBS IN MY GIANT SUPER SPORTSTER. RUNS LIKE A CHARM, AND OUT RUNS ANOTHER GUYS 34 FUJI ELECTRINIC, IN THE SAME PLANE, AT OUR CLUB. JUST TRYING TOO DECIDE ON A MOTOR, STEVE

f4u:

The engine box is not glued in. You mount the engine on the firewall and then slide the engine box in or out to make the back of the prop 9" from the fiberglass fuselage cap, then glue the engine box into the fuselage. This is mentioned at the bottom of page 8.

Before you glue the engine box in place it would be a good idea to fit the cowl over the engine and make sure the prop clears the lower corner of the cowl by 1/4 to 1/2".

THANKS I SEE THAT ABOUT SLIDING THE BOX OUT, BUT I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE ALUMINUIM MOUNT THAT IS ATACHED TO THE MOTOR, MINE DOES NOT HAVE THAT, SO I WAS WONDERING HOW FAR TO SET THAT FORWARD, OFF THE MOTOR BOX. AND OR WHAT FOLKS ARE USING...
