Default Gas Engine Recommendation

Was considering replacing my OS 1.60FX with a Gas Engine. This engine will be for a 80" OMP Edge 540 Profile. What is the best Gasser for this profile?

Thanks,

Mike

I have a mvvs 2.15 with mvvs pipe on mine. The engine is great on this plane. Pulls out of a hover with great authority, Hovers at about 1/3 throttle. It swings a 22-6 pro zinger at 7400. Its only a 35cc engine, but it pulls like crazy. Starts easy, and such. I am very pleased with the performance. Oh and its quiet too!

Ask Wayne he has flown it. Although the day he flew it, it was very rich and had a bad ignition!

Wayne we saw what you did to airplanes, that were low, and the ignition conked out. Now didn't we? You made me go there. I really hope you still feel REAL bad!

That was AFTER i flew your Edge....

But, your right. I would have felt like Sh*t is something would have happened to your plane with me flying it.
But, It would have only fell in from a foot or two...

Wayne, I'm totally disappointed in a foot or two! That just isn't low enough! I expected you to say an inch or two.
