>Anyone tried the MDS 148? Side exhaust, 28oz, rated at 3.5hp.  Just
wondering if it is another option for a pattern plane<

I stongly suspect that the MDS 148 is rated at something like 13,000 rpm.
When you prop it down to a pattern level 8000 to 9000 you will have a 2 to
2.5 hp engine. Most of the sport 120s are rated that way. The pattern
engine to compare them with is the YS91. (I am assuming no pipe.)

FWIW
