YS Engines

[Troy Newman]

Well Said Dean!

the original question was why does YS dominate Pattern and not other sections of the hobby.

Dave's 2C setups are some of the handful I have seen that I would run. 

But again its a case of not what is run........ but how it is run.

I heard an old wise pattern flyer once tell me that 

"there are people out there that can break an Anvil with a rubber hammer."

to go one further another wise old flyer chimed in  "And yes those guys fly pattern too!"

  Ah yes! ... the subtle distinction between complication and sophistication.
  Do you notice, though, that the guys who had their 4-Cs running well art generally the guys with the nicely running 2-Cs?
  The question is not, "What to run?", but, "How to run it?"
  Somewhere at the beginning of this thread, someone asked what he should run ... and one workable answer might be to latch onto someone local who has got his act together, and learn from him. This may not involve duplication, either.

  Regards, 
      Dean

    Simplicity is not a word you want attached to your high-tech pattern aircraft anyway....

      Jim,
      I'll bet by now you can assemble and disassemble the 15 moving parts that make up just the head of that engine with your eyes closed.  It's a zen like procedure that brings comfort and joy.  
        My engine only has one part (glow plug) and it doesn't move.  while you're doing that I'll have to find something else to tinker with....[where's the wife.....]

        Guess I am getting soothed then. I just started the 3rd rebuild on a YS 140L.It has 450 flights on it.

Um, why?
