Re: Giants size Poll
I'd say right now both the 50 and the 150/157 size are the most popular.

Re: Giants size Poll
i have to say 50cc - because its most affordable to get to gas and transport etc. i also believe that 100c is becoming more popular again because of cost so my second vote is for 100cc.
but!!!!!!!!!nothing flies like our big babies its just the slepp to move them around!! and again hello rodger - lol |

Re: Giants size Poll
I say 100cc... Seems there are enough 50 and 55cc motors out there that are light and durable now... 100cc baby!

Re: Giants size Poll
A lot of guys in our club are getting out of glow and into small gas 50cc.I think that a stronger slightly larger 100cc size would be the way to go.This for guys using 35% now or fliers not wanting to go all the way to a 40%.

Re: Giants size Poll
I too love the 80cc class, but I think for the money I spend on an 80cc, I'll just go for the 35%/100cc bird. I have only been around a few different brands of 80cc, and they all shake pretty good. I think it is marginal for a single cylinder size motor... Maybe the 80's I am seeing are not properly balanced either??

Re: Giants size Poll
Lookin' in my hanger I see one 35%, two 33%, nine 28-30%ers. Based solely on my hanger I would have to say that the 50cc planes are far & away the most popular. Now if I stop lookin at reality & start lookin at dreams.................. I am going to add one new 35% to the pile this winter but I'm also gonna get rid of a couple of the little ones.
Bad as I want to fly 40% the reality is one, they cost to much & two, they don't transport easily. I learned a long time ago not to travel with just one plane & I don't have the resources to haul three or four 40%ers around.

Re: Giants size Poll
You need to take a look at the ZDZ 80 RV-J "Super". It's the smoothest running singles I've seen to date. I love mine...it would take a hell of a offer to get it out of my hands. The power it produces is amazing.........it's never treated me wrong. Neo |

Re: Giants size Poll
Judging by what is at our field, I'd have to say the 50cc class. If you are talking warbirds, it is usually a G62.
IMHO, you can follow the crowd and have a "me too" entry, or you could go where there isn't as much competition. I think the 75-80cc size is a good one. I've just bought an 80cc setup to build this winter. Cost savings on the engine/exhaust setup alone is about $800 (headers and cannisters, single cylinder 80 vs two cylinder 100). Several guys in our club have the H9 33% planes, but with DA100s. A good 80 will pull these around fine. Bob R.
