Default .30 s are efficient.

i run a O.S .50 SX-H in my raptor .30 now and i love it. the other day i put my clapped out TT .39 back in it to see what happened. i ran it at its richest possible and it ran insanely hot but kept going. it had heaps of grunt and best of all it ran on my V2 tank with a little TT header for 25 MINUTES!! i have only heard of this flight time in big gassers with huge tanks.

My OS 32 will fly for over 30 minutes on Coolpower 15. Not much power but long flight time. My 50 hyper in a different heli gets less than 10 minutes on wildcat 30 with crazy power. It just depends on what you want.

I have a .32 SX-H as well that came in my Raptor 30. This engine would go forever on a tank, but I would get bored after about 10 minutes. Then I started trying to do 3D with it, and found that it just was not up to the task. For a lazy flyer, it's a good engine.

+1 on the .32 SX-H. My hawk can fly for 25 minutes on a tank and thats not even the header.
