Hey Raven, I got the same plane! it weighs 14lbs even with a First Place Engines 40cc which I am replacing with a RCGF 45cc. The FPE 40cc weighs 52oz (3.25lbs) with muffler and the RCGF 45 should be 39.1oz

also was using a 20x8 prop and will be trying a 20x10 with new engine.

Firefly,
I think you are going to like that RCGF 45..... the 20x10 might just be a nice
match for that engine......



Here are some of Nelly & my findings on our engines & props ...
Nellys CRRC Pro 40cc likes 20x8 props
My CRRC Pro 45cc likes 20x8 and 21x8 props
My Brillelli 46cc likes 20x8, 21x8, and 22x8 props....
Nellys RCGF 50cc (B) likes 22x8
My RCGF 62cc (B) likes 22x8, 22x10 (so far-- still breaking in & experimenting)

I do have 3W brand 19x8 props but those are running on the
Ryobi 31cc and McCulloch 32cc

Nice weights on those 77" Goldberg Edge 540's you two (Firefly, Raven04)

My poor 77" Goldberg extra 330 with the Brillelli 46cc is a pig compared to those....
still a blast to fly with unlimited verticals....and awesome rolling circles & knife edges......... lol... it weighs in at about 15 lbs/ 11oz
(I think the Brillelli was roughly 56oz alone) (3.5 lbs)
