I thought I would do a build thread on the new AW 75cc 260 QB. I have one on the way and will start assembly on Friday. I need to replace my Carden 30% for IMAC and I don't have time for a kit build. When I get this one in the air I will start a new 40% kit.
After the Cardens demise I have a 3w70 I needed a plane for. This engine is a tweener as there are few planes that will take a 70cc engine. The Aeroworks looked like a perfect fit as it is advertised at 20#-21#. My Carden was 22# and had very good vert. with this engine. Even though AW suggests a 75cc-85cc I thought that if I could keep it below 22# I would be in good shape.
I have a AW .90-1.20 Yak that I have been very impressed with so the decision was easy. I only needed to wait 3 weeks for the container to arrive. It's amazing how many suppliers are out of stock on airplanes.
