Aeroworks 75cc with G62?

[Mister]

I currently have an Aeroworks 50cc Yak with a lightened zenoah g-62 with a KS 1060 tuned pipe. The engine with ignition and battery weighs right over 5lbs. With the mejzlik 24x10 spinning at 7100 rpm on the ground this plane is stupid fast. It is actually uncomfortably powerful if there is such a thing. My question is, I really would like to step up to a larger aircraft but i really dont want to switch engines. Would I be ok putting this setup in a 75cc Aeroworks Extra 260?

depends on how you fly? Yes it will pull it but it wont hover or have unlimited vertical. just my opinion

Did Ralph do your "lightening" ? I've flown stock G62's in third scale birds that weighed up to 24lbs. You will not be impressed with the power. You can do fairly large loops but don't try to snap on the upline because you have to have speed to have much of an upline !! I personnally think that 18lbs. is the limit for G62 power. Unless you are just trying for "scale" flight.
The rest of FG know ten times more than I do but I have flown G62's in a variety of weights.
