Does anyone out there have any experience with the above mentioned engine and would you please share your experience.
I am considering one on a new model that has a relatively small cowl. The Zenoah GT-80 is a little too wide for the proposed aircraft; however, the advertised width of the Fuji twin would fit in the cowl.
Can anyone help with some information on this engine. It's advertised features look great, but I'd like to hear from someone that has had experience with that particular engine.
Thanks for any feed back that you guys might be able to give me.

I have one in a slightly overweightt Carden Extra. (104" 27 lbs)
It runs GREAT !
It runs SMOOTH
It NEEDS an electric starter to kick it over
(I have the big Miller attachment)
It is NOT a DA or a 3W
BUT........it's 1/2 the price, anda good running engine.
I use a Menz 24/10 prop.
Not sure of RPM's haven't tached it recently.
For price and ease of use (No ignition to worry about)
I give it an 8 out of 10

Thank you very much for the reply. I had heard about them being hard to start, but I have the Sullivan two hand starter that kicks over my 4.2 Sachs on magneto like I didn't have a spark plug in it. I've never had a problem starting my gas engines. I was interested in the smoothness of operation and the power generated by this twin. I personally prefer not having to deal with electronic ignition systems, an additional battery and switch, so the magneto operation is appealing to me.
If you get a chance, would you tach it and post the information here or e-mail me direct with the numbers?
Now, if anyone knows where I can get the best price on one, I'd appreciate the information.
Thanks again,
Bill
