Default Moki or Webra

I am ordering an engine in the next couple of days and I need some input. It's narrowed down to the Moki 1.35 or Webra Speed 1.20. I have noticed lots of notes in passing on these engines on this site but i need comparisons between the two. The engine will be going on a AKM 3D Freedom. I'm thinking the plane will be about 9 lbs. RTF. I need enough power for hovering and adequate pull-out. I need any comments you guys can offer...good or bad. If anyone thinks a larger engine would be in order....please let me know. Thanks in advance,
Mike

Default Moki or Webra

The Moki is stronger. A friend pulled his trusty Webra out of a 13 lbs Yellow Aircraft Cap 232 ARF and installed a MOKI 1.35. The diffrence in performance was very noticeble.

Default engines?

I own both, it depends on what you are going to use it for? The Webra is Lighter than the moki, but the moki has more power.
My Webra 1.20 turns a 16-8 APC at 8900-9000 rpms
Moki turns 17-8 APC 8900 rpms.
Both engines had brison pitts mufflers
Both on 5% nitro
If your plane is light I would keep it light and go with the webra
Webra seems to start alittle easier,

I would have to second the Webra 120, not only is it light, it is very smooth running, my numbers are the same as OneWing's with a Hangar Nine Super Plug, 5% Fox fuel and a Bisson Sport muffler with a baffle in it.

Default Moki or Webra

I owned a 120 webra and it was good from day one. It ran great and started with a flick of the prop.and would idle great. AS for the moki they might have more power but it takes a lot of fuel to break it in to run like the webra out of the box.

From what I read...I would not go with a Webra or a Moki...get a 20 cc Zenaoh gasser...lot less hassel! Capt,n

John, I beg to differ, the Webra is an issue free, hassle free engine and is economical for its power output.

Hobbsy, I Got to agree with you some Webras are pretty good. I helped put a Frank Bowman piston ring in a Webra that from new did not want to hand start for lack of compression. That all changed with Franks piston ring! Capt,n[X(]

I'll say Webra too, mainly because i have 3 Webra's and they're great engines.

I'd also suggest the Webra 1.50.
The weight is not much different than the 1.20, infact it's lighter than some of the 1.20 models.

He's probably got his engine by now...seeing as the O.P. was almost 7 years ago...

This thread did start long ago...but there are a lot of like brand new engines bought since and have not been run for some reason or another. This data though may help a guy get a nice engine going, and on a new bird!!! Best regards Capt,n

Default RE: Moki or Webra

I have a webra 120 and a Moki 135 (as well as a couple of 180's and 210's)
My webra runs strong but I never could get a clean midrange. It always loads up at half throttle.
The Moki's all run on no nitro fuel with an OS "F" plug, have lots of power and have been absolutely reliable. They do require a gallon of fuel for break in to get them reliable and continue to break in for another 3 to 4 gallons.
