I'd say right now both the 50 and the 150/157 size are the most popular.

i have to say 50cc - because its most affordable to get to gas and transport etc. i also believe that 100c is becoming more popular again because of cost so my second vote is for 100cc.

but!!!!!!!!!nothing flies like our big babies its just the slepp to move them around!!

and again hello rodger - lol

Hello to you too Adrian


I'm just trying to get a handle on the popular size airplane . Again, this is not for me but for a friend and engine size
They might have an ARF coming so he needs to know the size

A lot of guys in our club are getting out of glow and into small gas 50cc.I think that a stronger slightly larger 100cc size would be the way to go.This for guys using 35% now or fliers not wanting to go all the way to a 40%.

Thanks, A friend sent it to me a long time ago... Just now using it. I hope it is not offensive here on FG.

I too love the 80cc class, but I think for the money I spend on an 80cc, I'll just go for the 35%/100cc bird. I have only been around a few different brands of 80cc, and they all shake pretty good. I think it is marginal for a single cylinder size motor... Maybe the 80's I am seeing are not properly balanced either??
