Excelleron with OS 91FX in Intermediate ?

[Bob Pastorello]

Unfortunately, had no header on this setup, so I can't answer.  There are others who have, bet they will.  I pulled the 91 when I went nuts with the ST2300.

  Bob,
  I'd be interested to know what pipe, header, lengths, props etc on the 90 two stroke. I'm building a CA models Zafiro with a 90 (Tower had a $25 off so I bought a super tiger 90 for basically $95!). And am thinking of piping it.

    Forgot to add that I have # 2 here, and it is being configured with the 91 two stroke on a tuned system.  It will be interesting to be able to compare the two.

      The 1.20 class two-strokes in this airplane will probably provide the best power at the lightest overall weight.  The ST is overkill, and added about 8-9 oz overall more than should have been there, because it starts out at 31 oz, then add the exhaust system.  Most of the 1.20's, I think, are coming in at 31-33 oz WITH exhaust systems, and that reduces wing loading about 2 oz/sq.ft.

      I'm ready to test hop, awaiting the header, which is in process.  It is surprising to see this one design catch on so rapidly.  Was it price?  Performance?

        I order a Tiger Shark 1.20 for my excelleron90.  Should be about right.

          Bruce,
              Thanks, that's what I am concerned about.  The OS 91 FX most likely will require a pipe to do the job and the Excelleron
          is not set up for a pipe.  I may have to resort to a larger 2 stroke engine.  Bob Pastorello is using a Super Tiger 2300.
          Not sure I wish to go that big !
          Thanks,
          Paul

            I have a scratch built Typhoon 909 that weighs around 8 to 8.5 pounds.  The "Littlephoon" has 909 square inches of wing, about a 70 inch wing span.  I fly intermediate at 5500 feet MSL.  The YS91 did not have enough to fly the Int pattern, because of the two maneuvers you mentioned.  I put a YS 110 in the Littlephoon, and now I have plenty of power swinging a 15X8.  I have no experience with the OS, but I would think the YS would be a little lacking. 

            See ya,

            Bruce
