I recently started flying the new Cermark Edge 540T, 70in WS, 1008 sq in. Mine came in at 10 LBS with a GF26i gasser and it flys great. 3D and pullout of a hover with authority.

I know the EVO will be more powerful.

Here's the link.

http://www.cermark.com/index.html

It's in the "Glow/Gas Airplanes" drop down on left side of the screen. 540T is the bottom plane choice.

I also have the Extra 260 and it flys well too.

Here is a pic of the Edge.

What are you looking for specifically? 3D, warbird, etc.

I used this engine in a tow plane of 16 lbs, with gliders up to 12 lbs for a total combo weight up to 28 lbs with good results.
In piggy-back flights, 22 lbs was still excellent.
The 16 lbs tow plane was capable of all aerobatics that the Clark-Y airfoil would allow, including negative G loops, until the wing struts collapsed. Exit one fine tow plane.

Aim for 12 lbs max weight, with the engine on tuned pipe. With the side muffler, max weight should be 10 lbs if 3D still must be an option.
