Most Popular Engine Brand
 

Lets See wich one gets the most votes?

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

It's a silly question. There is no "best engine brand". The "best" engine depends upon a huge number of variables for any particular application & each application is different. There will be many "best" brands for many applications. Your question is a meaningless exercise in the politics of personal preference.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

I agree with britbrat but since you're asking ;)

You need to add Jett to your list.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

The one mounted on the front of my current favorite plane.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

uh huh. here comes a can or worms. need fries with that.:D
Everyone one this site is going to say such in such is the best because I have it.
OS is overrated. they have good longevity but the power sucks, though if you throw some money at them. mac pipe a Perry pump and a bigger carb you can get some power out of them. there 4-strokes are ok. The saitos work great, little finicky on break in. the YS I've found have less dead stick landings during break in and more power. Webra should have gone the way of enya. old school is cool but update your medals tech will ya

For me it's a toss up on Rossi and Jett for the !QUOT!best 2-stroke!QUOT! nelson is the prooven champ but who can afford em
toss up between evolution and tower for the best cut rate motor
YS has my vote on 4-strokes. saito a very close second
and Zeohna with hand down on Gassers

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

Best for what purpose?
For some uses an MVVS might be best. Or Jett. Or ...
For some other stuff, a Hacker, Neu, Actro, or AXI might be best :)

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

True, but Hacker, Neu, Actro, and AXI are motors, not engines

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

OK; I Changed the subject. Hows the choice this time?

:)

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

I think you'd get a lot more input if you said "worst brand"

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

Name some and ill get a poll going!

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

You're missing the point by a couple of light years. There is no BEST engine -- there are many best engines, by many manufacturers. What might be a better question is -- "What is your favorite engine manufacturer?" -- even then, you really need to specify the numerous applications, because no single manufacturer can, or does, come close to covering all of the bases.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

The poll is about the most popular not the best.
To choose the best or worst engine one must be more specific about the requirement.
OS will definitly be the most popular because the offer the widest range.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

:([:'(][:o][>:][X(][:-][&o]:eek:Looks Like I just can't satisfy YOU!!! It is only a poll to see wich engine is the most popular engine! Why don't you create a poll with all the fancy detail and I promise I'll vote on it!

[8D];)[:@]:):D

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

He actually started it about the "best" :eek: -- he's just changed the title to protect the guilty :)

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

don't takt it personally dude were just having fun:D

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

I'll agree with the above post's... BUT for me personally it's the engine that gives me the least amount of trouble. But thats just me............

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

So where's Moki???????

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

And where's K&B?

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

...where is Magnum???

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

Some poll this is [&:]

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

YS gets my vote. By the way, there was a similar engine poll a couple of years ago in the engine forum.

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

That's what I was referring to when I said worst brand.

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

where is magnum?

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

Dare I mention the 'F' word.....FOX????? :):):)

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

Yes, sometimes the best solution is not an engine :)

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

I agree with Tailskid. 54 of my 166 glow engines are Fox. Of course, Cox made 37 of those 166 engines. Those two brands account for probably 80% of my I. C. powered flying.

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

hi,

i agree, wheres magnum and evolution engines ??? both are very good engines and get my vote. then o.s

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

I dont see EVOLUTION on the list. nor MAGNUM or K&B or DA OR BME OR ZENOAH, OR ZDZ, OR FIRST PLACE, or FUJI or RCV

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

It's not the most meaningfull poll.

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

You forgot Evolution engines .;)

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

H/B if anyone cares

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

The best engine is the one that:

Weighs nothing
Turns your prop 2000RPM more than you expected
Does it on 5% nitro
NEVER breaks or needs fixin'
Always starts
Never needs tweakin' on the needle valves
Never blows a glow plug
Never needs a valve adjustment

Put that in your poll and smoke it. :D;)

RE: Most Popular Engine Brand
 

Why did you exclude Fox and K&B, yet you include a brand that is no longer in production (MDS)?

RE: Best Engine Brand
 

I think there was about 3-4 popular brands of engines. They had their turn for being so. Now it has changed ....there are so many good engines.....no one person can say!!! Thats my 2 cents. Do not go by a poll....go to a few RC fields and see what engines there and running good. Capt,n
