Default Fox 4.8

Has anyone used a Fox 4.8 on a 16 -18 pound plane? A plane something like the new Wildhare 330 or the Edge 540. (84" wingspan) What do you think of the Fox 4.8?

I have the Fox 3.2 on a 15 lb. plane Midwest cap 232 and it has unlimited power the 4.8 should have no problem.

That engine is too big for that plane. Keep the engine weight around 3 lbs.

How about the Wildhare Giles? How would the 4.8 pull this plane?

That would be a good plane for that engine.

Do you mean a Fox 4.2? If so, I had one of these on a 22lb Lanier Edge 540 and the power was good. I think it would be fine on a Wildhare Giles. Mine turned a Mejlik 24 -10 around 6900. Good luck.
