Yip it was 20 with the 100twin but the 65 is 700 grams lighter than the 100

Mine is 19 lbs wet, Its not hugely overpowerd, but it will hover at around 1/2 throttle at the coast. It has a good climp out, not a rocket but good for 3D. I think try it, I still have one 65cc left..LOL

Hey Hohn O
It is made in China its one of the success stories from China my bud in Namibia ( Andreas ) has two of the 48cc twins and he is so stoked with them that he's ordered some 100's to . I need a 150cc motor since my engine sponsor and I have decieded not to work together anymore. I need the 150cc for a 43% Edge for TOC later this year and im thinking of the 150cc DZY.

Is that your RC L yak ???? at 19LBS
My 65 was in my EDGE 540 30% 14LBS can you imagine the power there.
Well the EXTRA is 20LBS but its a 33% so there's loads of wing area there to use I think 2150sq inches.

Hey D thanks just spoke to Keith now he says he thinks the price is R850 incl header but he will email me to confirm and also dimentions .....Is it a long can
