Great Planes Ultimate?

[Geojungle99]

I came across a new 3W42i at a really good price and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 42 and any thoughts on how it would power this plane? The motor seems a little on the heavy side but I've never ran one so I'm wondering if it puts out decent power?

Thanks in advance.

Do what I did , This is a Great Planes Ultimate, I ordered it Stripped it , Fixed several spots that were unglued at the factory, and then I recovered it. So tired of seeing the same thing at the field. Yes it is a scale scheme and its powered by a DA 50 and she weighs in at 15 lbs even and man can she hover. Im useing a Xoar 22/10 prop , Cg is right where GP said it should be and I havent had any of the problems that everyone has had . Inverted is the same as rightside up, She flys like a dream.

Ive had two of these planes and to tell you the truth I wouldnt have one that didnt have at least a 50cc engine in it , the 40 class engines are great for just flying it around , but the pull outs are slow and not as quick as with the 50 cc , My first one last year had a DLE 55 on it and this one this year has a DA 50 on it and belive me you can use all the muscle you can get, and for the money its not that much more.

hey, i got one of these sitting in my basement that i had bought to go with a bunch of gear that i already had. i figured i could get it in the air pretty cheap. i was going to use a os 160 fx with futaba 3305 servos. i didn't see anyone here go glow. i do prefer gas but have to much money in other planes. if anything it should be pretty lite with that motor.
