Open Poll-How many and what size/type gassers do or have you owned?
Just curious to find out how many gassers people have or have had along with the brand and displacment. This could be useful for various engine manufactures and distributors in some free market research. For me it's out of curiousity to see how many gas engine owners visit here at RCU and what they are using.
If you're planning on obtaining a new engine in the immediate future (this year) post your intended brand and size with the approximate time frame if you would. Please don't include in the counts engines that have not been, or are not actually owned. This is not a poll to develop any heated "which is better" arguements, so thanks for holding that back for a later day.
Thanks to all that respond.

RE: Open Poll-How many and what size/type gassers do or have you owned?
Man that's may take some thinking. In the last ten years, at least:
1 FPE 2.4
1 A&M 2.0
2 A&M 3.2
2 A&M 4.2
2 Sachs orange case 4.2
1 Precision Eagle 4.2
1 Brison 3.2
2 US 41
1 G-38
1 GT-80
1 3W-60
Wow, I would have never guessed that many off the top of my head.[]

1st one--kit built Midwest Extra 300--80" wing. I built it myself. Poulan 54cc conversion engine.
2nd one--Kangke Texas Hurricane --Brison 2.4
3rd one--BME Edge 540 with G-62
4th one--World Models Patty with G-62
5th one--Kangke Laser 2000 with ZDZ60
6th one--GP 1/3 scale Pitts with Fox 3.2
7th one--Langke Laser 2000 with G-62--again
8th one--BME Edge 540 with G-62--again
9th one--World Models Extra 330L 90" With Husqvarna 75cc conversion
I also have a Carden 30% Cap 232 that I built a couple years ago. It has a 3W 80XI on the firewall, but I sent it to a friends house for covering. That was last year and it ain't done yet.
I also have a NIB MidWest Cap 232 that I plan to lighten up and mount a 50-60cc engine.
I just bought the OMP Hybrid 92" Edge 540 and another big conversion engine.
I have another 3W 80XI sitting here and 3 more G-62 engines. Numerous Ryobi and chainsaws in various stages of conversion. Probably 20 of them.
The insanity just gets worse............................................. .. And the planes get bigger........................
Did I mention all the glow kits I have in storage? Around 60 kits that I started collecting several years ago. I need help------- ------------- and GLUE!! [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

1. Wildhare Extra 300 Special - DA50
2. Chip Hyde Double Vision - DA50
3. GP Extra 330L - 3W106B2
4. Balsa USA Foker DR1 Triplane - Zenoah G26
Plan to order a Wildhard Ultimate with a DA50 when they come in. I love multiple wings.
This doesn't count the glow stuff that my 3 teenage boys fly. Have close to 20 fuel burning planes and I'm like wingburner, glad my wife won't see this.
