[andywynn]

Hi Guys,i am going to order a QQS 102" yak Gen 3 when they come out in the UK. I want it for 3D, but am looking to start in IMAC. I want to know the best engine to put in it. Which would the majority put in it? Bearing in mind weight is an issue.
Thanks Guys in adavnce

DA-100 man... hard to go wrong.

I am putting a 3w100. Mainly because that is all what I have laying around. Great running engine though. Still prefer DA

Definitely go for a 3W 106. Most powerful engine in it's class. Extremely reliable. Awesome service.

Go with standard mufflers and you;ll have as light a setup as any. Except for the ZDZ, but I would stay away from those motors.

You forgot to add:

3W: Very Powerful

DA: Powerful

Which ever one you pick between Da and 3w I still think you can't go wrong with either. DA might be the more popular favorite. 3W I think has the more power. DA is lighter.

DA's website shows the engines' weights without ignition. 3W shows the total weight including ignition.. So they're about the same. 3W's prolly lighter.

Shouldn't the 3W be more powerful? It is 6 CCs bigger than the DA.

Guys, we're not going to have a pi$$ing match on 3W/DA.

You have listed 3 very good engines. Honestly what I would suggest is see what other engines people are running around you and go with that. When I got my 150 most of my local friends were running DA so I went with that because of their familiarity with the engines. I figured that if I had any questions/concerns about tuning it they would be able to help out. The engines are all top notch.

It is. Way more.

I agree they are both great engines so get the engine you can get the best deal on. If your going to fly IMAC I would say go with canister exhaust if you have noise regulations in your area. The MTW canisters slide right into the mounts on the GEN III so no need to fabricate mounts.
