Check out the review in RCUniverse on the Hangar 9 Extra 300S. He's using a ZDZ 100
[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=355]RCU H9 300S Review[/link]
He didn't fly with over 1/3 throttle during the review, so I think the G80 will do fine in this aircraft. I believe the Hangar 9 gassers come more ready for Zenoah's, which makes the mounting that much easier (might even be shown in the manual) therefore is something to consider.
Have fun!!!

DON'T put a zenoah on it if you want it to fly well. The more I fly, the more I see what a HUGE difference a light airplane makes. The GT-80 is WICKED heavy!!! The ZDZ-80 appears to be the perfect match for the hanger 9 planes. It is VERY light and produces substantially more thrust that a GT-80, plus it runs very smooth... very well balanced. Your wings will thank you and you'll be rewarded with a terrific flying airplane.

I know that Zenoah's are heavier than the equivalent displacement ZDZ but the performance is still very good with the GT80. If you are using the GT80 stock (with spring starter and magneto and stock mufflers) then you will be carrying a lot of weight around. I changed mine on a Great Planes 330 to have no starter, Bisson mufflers and CH ignition. The weight change made a HUGE difference. The altitude that you fly at will also make a difference. I noticed this when I was using the older 74cc Zenoah. I had it in a Lanier 33% Extra. At 5500' altitude it was a dog, but at sea level it performed well enough for intermediate IMAC.
For availabilty and cost reasons alone the Zeonah is a very good buy. (I currently have both ZDZ and Zenoah engines - both are EXCELLENT products.)
Have fun and safe flying!
