[NSRCA-discussion] First day out with OS 140RX (somewhat long)

[Ed Miller]

Leave the AC in there. With a few tricks and 25 to 30% nitro you can swing a big prop in the high 7's to low 8's quietly and have more than enough power.

  Dave,

  I have a YS 1.20AC (I think) with a Hatori pipe in my 2m plane.  If I were to upgrade to a new motor I would strongly consider 2-stroke for the price factor alone.  I think the YS 1.60 looks like a tremendous motor, but it is a lot of money in upfront cost as well as fuel. 

  What would you recommend?  The plane weighs 10#4oz now.  Should I look at the OS, Mintor, or Webra?

  Just curious,

  Brett

    I agree that a good running YS is a great glow powerplant for pattern, and 
    the folks at YS Performance provide great service to the YS faithful.  And
    to get solid performance, you need only to slap on any one of a number of
    headers and mufflers at pretty much any length, dump lots of 30% nitro low 
    viz oil fuel, bolt on a prop that will hit sufficient RPM to bust the
    noisemeter at 80% stick, and set the needle.  Good power, good torque, and
    nice throttle curve are the likely result - along with plenty of noise and 
    vibration (relative to a 2C).
