GP 76 twin gas engine

Looks like pre-orders can be made through Mile High RC. Makes me wish I had an airframe.... maybe I should change that???? I usually don't like being the test rabbit on a new product though...
$660 shipped. Expected end of the month, shipping mid April.

That's not such a bad price considering the alternative is 749.00 plus another 149.00 for mufflers.
My GP76 fund me account is growing .

One thing I like doing is getting all the RC goodies first a bit here and a bit there. Then in the time it takes me to get all the goodies a new air frame will present itself . That I just have to have of course .

Wanted to do a comparison of the 70cc class motors now that the specs are mostly out on the GP-76.
The GP76 is only 0.213"/5.41mm Wider cap-cap, 0.19"/4.826mm Longer Mount-Hub, and 0.088lbs/40g Heavier (without muffs or ign) than the DA70. so less than 1/4" dimensionally and under 1/10lb heavier. Not bad GP, not bad at all!

I'll update this as more info becomes available.

All motors listed below have the same firewall mounting of 66mm H x 78mm L. All come with Genuine Walbros, and NGK CM6 plugs. Weight shown below is without muffs/ign.

Engine: CAP-CAP dimension: Weight: Price: Mnt-Hub: Comes with the following:
GP 76 St Plugs 10.826" 1650g/3.637lb $660 5.73" Muffs, V?Ign, ?Yr Warranty

Mile High RC shows plug dimension 250mm with caps.

I hope this was educational and rewarding as it was for me!

With factory numbers posted and props used I say this thing is going to be a BEAST. 25x8W 7140!!! That's insane. My DA70 turned it 6950 on a good day.

I've been looking at this thing for quite some time. I don't like being the test subject on a new product, but now that they've been flying for the whole summer, I've heard nothing but good comments, cannot beat the price with mufflers and the power that comes with it. Someone mentioned that no negative comments and the lack of used ones on the market leaves one to believe that it is indeed a good product.... thus one can conclude through deductive reasoning anyhow!
