Another "what engine should I use?"question - RCCanada

g-manz35 · 11-10-2006, 11:34 PM

Just building my first plane. Its a Great Planes Dazzler. It's suppose to weigh 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. I purchased a Webra speed 40 at a swap meet but now I'm having second thoughts as to weather or not this will provide the power I need. I'm thinking I would like to be able to hover at 3/4 throttle. I also own a Webra 50 GT and a saito 56 that are installed in other planes. My other option is an OS 50 sx that a fellow club member has for sale. Opinions please. especially if you own a Dazzler!!

Thank you George

Don't own one but of all the engines you listed the 50sx would probably be the best. Oh I don't know the guy in your club

Buddy has a dazzler with a gms 46, not enough power, go with the 50.

Thanks a lot guys this is the type of specific info I needed. I'm fairly new at this and will be purchasing a new engine for this plane. OS 50 sx it is then.

Thanks George

A suggestion if I may. Most Arf instructions will ask you to mount the motor early in the build. Save mounting the motor till close to last. This way you can move the motor a little forward or aft to help balance the plane. This is especially true with a lighter motor.
