Its clear that the hottest planes on the market today are those in the 30 cc range.the biggest reason is the availablity of engines like the new DLE30.

On the club fields I frequent, 30CC planes NEVER appear.
The most common gasser size is in the 50cc range.
I've also yet to see ANYONE with 20CC or less planes.
In the sub 50cc range the most prevalent size is 26cc.
So in my experience I can't say that generalization is true, even though most other sizes are often seen flying.

I'm happy to see the increase in small gassers and planes for them. Though some small glow still exist in my hanger, my interest niche has swung to the 1.20 size planes both glow and gas but 30cc fits as well. Currently flying a Akrobat II with Saito 1.25, a Hanger 9 PT-19 with Enya 1.20, a Phaeton 90 with G-20, Ultra Stick Lite with G-20 and a Taylorcraft with G-23.

the thread was simply to see how other pilots were using the smaller gas engines in their 25 percent sized planes.I agree my statement about 30 cc engines is just an opinion .and am always the first to be critical of generalizations .ugh..but at the same time there seems to be more gas engines available not only in the 50 cc but 30cc and even 20 cc range.a better generalization would have been to simply say theres a alot of new new planes and motors in the 50 cc and under range .I like the ease of transporting them and they can fly readily at most fields and I certainly dislike the cost of nitro fuel and aftermath of cleaning.
but I never made this an endoresement for a certain 300cc engine.was just curious about what others were doing.
