Default CHP Cap X cheap!

I flew one with an OS 1.60 and it was a blast. Just thought I would share this deal... $209

I second that gremlin. Just put mine up for the first time today. WOW. with a Moki 210 it was a pleasure to fly! Has a locked in feel. Very stable in high alpha manouvers. Rolling harriers just continue to move the plane forward like a larger heavier plane. No wallowing at all. Knife edge was flawless. Hovers were great. Approaches were very predictable. Man , all I can say is I am happy.




PS: not my pic but is worth a thousand words

I would ZDZ 40 would be ok...a DA 50 is a tick heavy for it.. Moki's and OS 1.60's are a very good weight and power to shoot for... how heavy is that ZDZ 40?

The ZDZ 40 was my first choice for this plane. However the motor was very difficult to find at the time of purchase. My second choice was a DA 50. Got everything for that motor but finally decided to go with a Moki 210. Damn is all I have to say. The plane is insane with it.

Very inexpensive motor and fuel. Keeps the wing loading light and has way more power than you will ever need. 3D's aswome

Moki 210 is about the largest glow motor you will run before going to gas. The newest motors were going by the name "MARK" until just rescently. Now the "Moki" name has been re-released and is stamped on the cases again.

Very strong reliable motors. I got mine used online for around $200.00 CAD. Upon inspection I noticed it was brand new. There are lots of Mokis out there sitting on shelves. Occasionally there are trends. Last year was a real high for Mokis. I had a really hard time finding one. In fact I searched for two years. Suddenly 20 or so came available on the forums. They got snapped up pretty quickly.

They are great motors
