Default GP YAK engine

Hi Guys i ve just boght a GP Yak as a everyday fly plane i have the QQ86 (but it only fits in one of our cars and i only use it at the weekeds) and have bought the gp yak for 200.00 new off someone who doesnt want to build it. My everyday plane has been an ef extra 58 and then flying the QQ weekends, but i wanted something bigger and this seemed a steal.

Firstly is this plane any good, i was going to get the 73 QQ or aeroworks then this came up, i dont want to build a plane thats not going to fly well, id rather resell, honest opinions.

Secondly im trying to build cost effectively so i can just throw the plane about and not worry about cost when flying. I would appreciate advice on an engine and what you have in yours or a friend has. The site states os160 glow or 43cc gas. I have considered glow but would like gas as its way cleaner etc but that os 160 is cheap and os engines are very good.

Honest opinions please, i have thought of zdz 40,dl50, i would love another da in it as the one in my QQ is superb but it is a cost issue here.


Thankyou in advance for taking the time to reply.
