YS 120

[Peter Pennisi]

The 120 and 140 size engines are the same size, weight and about the same
power. The 140 has a slight edge in performance but it doesn't have to work
as hard to produce it. I flew a 120 size model with a 140L for many years.
It was an advantage as I never struggled for power. I am sure you can pick
up many 2nd L's and FZ at a good price. 

 

Also parts are easier to get for the 140's and there is a very good
knowledge base around.

 

I am sure many other people will agree with this advice.

I have a 120 size plane to put it on is the reason I want to start there.
Then if I decide I don't like it I'm not out as much.

thanks though

Tom

Tom,

 

I would buy a 140 FZ or L instead of any of the 120's. The 140's are a much
better engine and you wont be spending more dollars. I think you would spend
less in the long run. The 120's have been around a long time as far as
4stroke life years are concerned IMHO.

I'd like to buy a YS 120 in good condition, would prefer a NC or FZ. I want
to try a 4 banger without spending 140DZ dollars. Please contact me off the
forum if you have anything you might want to part with.

thanks
