50cc vs. zenoa 62cc??

Ralph is a member here "rcign" , I flew one that weight like 20# with a us 41 and it really needed more power the rcign g62 is the best option I think

ULTIMATE1,

If I could get the carb adapter to me for those kinds of dollars, I'd already have one.

I emailed Mr. Clark personally for the shipping info. He replied with a very complicated form detailing all the addtional charges involved in sending the intake manifold overseas, including international handling fees, shipping documentation completion fees, order processing fees, special significant charge for cashing a money order at his bank and what all else. Fees, fees and more fees!! There were more hurdles here than in an Olympic race!!

I added up all those numbers. The cost came to just shy of $200. I speak from actual experience, not hypothesis, speculation and dated catalogs. Perhaps things have changed in the last year or so since my query.

My solution was to purchase a different engine for my project. It made more sense to me than trying to make my G62 something that it was not. And in the end, it didn't cost any more money.

BTW, the H9 website shows their Giant P-51 as being a 25CC gas engine size, 80" span plane. Why not just follow the manufacturer's recommendations? Not only would a 62CC gas engine be a bit overpowered, it would be considerably heavier. Lots of dead weight there.

My wife's family is in England so I didn't have that hassle also I never reccomended the g-62 the guy building it dit If it were me I'd use the Revolution as in the original post I made on this thread I agree that's why I say with a G-62 there won't be much cowl left it will look like a block of swiss cheese

I'm done here but knowing it is the Hanger 9 80 " and not the TOPFLITE 1/5 scale this would be my choice saito 200 INLINE twin

I have to chuckle everytime I see one of these posts about bigger engines and the "Warbird" guys say "it'll pull the plane apart", "it won't fly scale"...

I think some of these guys don't know how to use the throttle in any manor but on/off. I'd definitely opt for bigger over smaller and all you need in most cases is a bit of restraint with the throttle, but it is there if you need it.

The other thing and it is often overlooked, is that most Warbirds wind up being tailheavy and require some added weight on the nose. That being said, it's one of the reasons you see so many G-62's in 'em. It's also a really tough, reliable engine but it does have the side mounted carb and I wouldn't own a gasser that did not have electronic ignition. There are those who run the magnetos and are perfectly happy with them but it's not my cup of tea.

So basically, if you can come up with a modified G-62 that'll fit in the cowl (carb mod) and an electronic ignition for a decent price, then I'd say go for it. Barring that, the rear carb 50/60cc size made for use in a model airplane engines, would be my choice. My brother is putting a ZDZ in his TF 1/5 scale Mustang with one of Kelvin's exhaust systems and it's gonna be sweet....

I know a bunch of guys with modified g62's on 3D planes (modified by rcign). They are really strong motors. Also another excellent 60cc is the Brillelli.

I wouldnt be worried about the G62 pulling the plane apart. Most of the 50s out there put out a bunch more power than the G62. The G62 is a good running and reliable engine, but its not in the same class as a DA50/3W50/ZDZ50 in power in its stock configuration. You wont see a G62 swinging 22 and 23" props as those listed 50s will. Perhaps a Zinger 22x8 paint stirrer.

[wingburner]

WOW, don't know where you guys have been...Any G-62 i've had ( 4 to be exact ) will turn a 22/10 @ 7000 plus.

A G62 doesnt have as much power as a 50cc motor ??
