VMAR Cessna 182 45-60 Engine Choice

Dec 25, 2003 3 Replies

Looking at buying this model. On the box it says to use a .45 - .60 2 stroke, however the assembly manual recommends a .60 - .75 2 stroke. Got me a little confused here as to what engine to choose.



Ultimatly I would like to use a 4 stroke engine and am looking at a Saito .80



Does anyone have this model and would be able to recommend what 4 stroke engine I should use?

I would recommend a Saito .91 instead of the .80. The price is about the same. The weight is the same. The .91 has more power.

Good luck with vmar. We don't fly them any more at our club. None lasted for more then 3 months or so.

Don't know if they have improved or not. I am not going to try it out.......
