I have no experience with this model but I looked up its specs on their website and I would guess that you should be OK. The site says 60cc, is the 3W light for its capacity??? (I dont know anything about 3W) If its a light motor then it should be fine.
Do you really need smoke though?? Any weight you can keep out of it the better. |

Again I have to say I have no experience with this model but I would suggest you go over all the glue joints you can get to. Make sure the firewall is glued properly, dowell it if you have to. And use the best radio gear you can afford.
You really cant skimp with the bigger models, if you try and save a bit of money here and there it could end up costing you your model. |

Thats alot of motor for that airplane. If you already have the 70 in your possession, go with something slightly bigger. Otherwise, pick yourself up one of the lightweight 50s. They are ideal of the 27-30% airplanes, lighter is better, and that 70 is gonna make that 27% fly like a lead sled.

I have heard that the MVVS 58 is a perfect match for this airframe. Slightly heavier than a normal 50cc but the power of a 60cc.

I have the WM 27% 300S with a Moki 2.10 in it. I fly at 5000' and while it does just fine for IMAC, it does not have unlimited vertical. The wingspan on my bird is 80" and the 330L is 90". I think you would be OK with the 70I.

MVVS 58 is 4.3lbs without muffler and will turn a 24x10 @7000rpm.
Don't get me wrong, the 3W's are great engines and the 60 or 70 would fly the model well. So it's really up to you. Personally I would go for either the MVVS 58 or the 3W 60. I don't think it will need the extra power of the 70 unless you are flying from a high altitude.
