Normal - this plane has a great wing size - can handle 18+ - BUT lighter flies better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know about the plane but I have two 3W-55's...One in my 88" Extreme Flight Yak and another in my 88" Extreme Flight Extra and they run great!

Since i have been tagged a pro heli guy by my best friend rocky the reason you see more heli guys is we can use both sides of there brains when we fly unlike you guys that just hover alot rockoflier aka mr whiskers But on a serous note the plane looks great i have a 50cc yak with an RE2 on it, the power is unreal you can slide it up and down in a hover like it was on on a string.

I am assuming that is standard weight for 50cc ARF I have a friend who flies a 89" Slick that weighed in at 18.5 pounds. The DA still throws it around like a ragdoll

must be a US thing , my invoice is labeled 3W55xiCS and it looks just like the one in the middle on your pics.
best news is I got the engine mount on the plane and almost ready for engine install.

Hey the stock pieces of angle that attach the firewall to the engine box are very weak. I broke one on mine and so did my buddy. Rocky recommends attaching the firewall using 1 hour epoxy and then wrapping it in fiberglass also utilizing the wood wedges installed behind the firewall included in the kit. Just found mine was broke today and my friend found his yesterday. I have a little over a gallon on mine while he has like 5 flights on his. I can say the plane knife edges amazing, full deflection with no coupling at all! Lovin that for sure!! Harriers almost effortless as well.

You can put some video or photos.Thanks

what a nice combo , the 3W diialed right in with easy starts and smooth idle. tomorow I will get the rest of the 2.5 gallon finished off and it should be broke in.
