I'm thinking it will I have 3 of these engines a 40,48,and anew 68 they are an awesome power plant.I have had no problems with any of them,just break them in right and they run just fine.I am looking around for a kit for the 68 so it will have a home.

Yes, plenty of grunt to get airborn, once in the air it will fly it on 1/2 throttle. What you want to do
though get that engine reliable before trying float flying. MDS quality seemed hit or miss- I have seen
some great runners with awesome idle and transition, and others that would never run consistantly.

I had a 48, 58, & 68 at one time. I didn't have any trouble with mine.

These engines do tend to unload more than most engines in the air so set them just a little richer on the ground.

Enjoy,

Jim
