RE: RCGF-150cc
I haven't had any personal experience with them, specifically, but I can tell you that noone can make that decision foryou. If you have a plane large enough for that size, then it should only be a matter of what you want to power it with, not what it costs. I will see three grand plus leave my wallet when it's time to purchase the engine for the 30%er! I will search for feedback and reviews for the one you spoke of, but it really all boils down to: What do you want to power the bird with? Verticle cylinder... twin, maybe four cylinder... opposed or verticle jugs... radial... ducted fan... the options are at your discretion. Worth is a relative term. Thingsare really only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Yeah. So true guys. I have WH 40% Extra 300, and im looking for engine to power it. Im lookig for 150-170cc range engine to power it. Actually there is no big difference on price between DA-150 and RCGF-150. RCGF is 1100$ on Ebay and DA-150 is around 1400$ on US dealers.

RE: RCGF-150cc
There are a few DA 150's listed in the classified sections of various forums. With a little searching you could obtain a very nice 150 for about $1,000.00 U.S. If you want light and very close to equal power then a BME 150 might be the ticket. The BME costs more than a used DA though. What's nice about the DA is that it seems they continue to support their engines even after one changes ownership. I would avoid just about anything sold on E-Bay. Too much room to get screwed, and the possibility of something being a stolen item is higher than it should be. In any case, get the serial number of a DA and check it's update history. The 150's had a front hub update early on.

If you are looking for more that "150" power then it is not the engine for you to choose. (You mention you are looking for a 150 - 170)
Performance is very similar to a DA 150 - but less than a DA 170.
I have been flying one for just on a year now (Yes, I am a dealer). It is a fine engine for a 150 and it holds it own against the common brands of 150's out there but I haven't found it to be a match for a 170 of any brand.
