Brison 3.2 or DA 50 seem to be the most popular

If money is not a problem and you want the most power then the DA 50 second would be the Brison 3.2. My DA has run flawlessly from the getgo I have yet to use the Brison.

I am planning on putting a turbine engine in mine with some thrust vectoring and a gyro to make hovering really stable. I figure I should be able to pull out of hovers just fine...lol. 50cc size engines sound off!

1. DA 50
2. ZDZ 50
3. Brison 3.2
4. BME 50
5. FPE 3.2
6. Taurus 52
7. MVVS 58 (evo 58)
8. 3W 50
9. YW 48 (twin)

there are a lot more out there, but that small list seems to be the popular ones. I own the FPE 3.2 and also a Fuji 50 in the 50cc size. I have owned a Roto 25, and currently the largest I have is a DA100. I will probably put my Fuji 50 in the same Edge I plan on building here in a few weeks. Well if you call gluing the parts together building

ZDZ 60 would be a great choose too.

The ZDZ 60 or the DA 75 (if it ever comes out) would be really fun, and really too much. Too much fun, whats that mean...? I know a lot of people with the ZDZ 60 in 28% planes. I think weight would become an issue though if you werent careful. You would probably want all the trick light weight parts and lithiums if you ran the added weight of the ZDZ 60. I have heard from some people with the new ZDZ 50ng that its stronger than the ZDZ 60. Wondering if you have heard any of the same speculation.

Of course Im sure you could get away with a larger prop with the ZDZ 60 which would also have its benefits.

What size edge are you thinking about? 33% go DA 100, 27 to 29% go DA 50! I have a 29% Katana, and it is great with the DA 50cc. I just ordered the 33% Hanger 9 edge, and I am going with the DA100cc. Good engines

The larger engines will only work effectively up to a point. After about a 60, the idle rthrust of the engine starts becoming too much to let the plane land. Bigger props make it even worse. Then comes weight...

I run a G-62 , vertical to heaven unlimited. Hover at 1/2 throttle, lands like a trainer.


But I am posting aquestion in another thread about glue joint issues.
