Just put my name in for the Aeroworks 75cc 260. This WILL be the engine that goes into it, and I heard that DA will match-tune a full length pipe to it for you - I think I will go that route! Can you imagine this engine with a full length pipe on a 22 pound plane???

After seeing this engine in person it is sweeeeet! typical da quality. The exhaust porting is just awesome ! made me want to run out and get another 35% plane to put it in.

You bep your bippie I can. This engine on a sub 25 pound plane especially with a pipe would be crazy power. This engine with a pipe would easily power most any 33% plane for that matter. It will just give crazy power to the 75-85cc sized stuff.
