[NSRCA-discussion] To YS or Not

[mike mueller]

 In the last 3 years I've gone from YS DZ140 to OS 160 back to a YS DZ160 and now  AXI Electric. I've pretty much decided to stay E at this point as things are going pretty well at this point. As far as what I think about YS. I think if your going IC then for my money YS is the best. They are far from perfect but when they work they are impressive. I've come to think of them as high performance engines on a race car. They are pushing the limits and they are going to have expected failures. Just as a high performance Electric setup does. Its just part of the deal. YS engines are awesome performers. When I had the OS I always felt that I was leaving something on the table from a performance standpoint. But hey its just my opinion.

    I'm losing sleep trying to determine whether to put a YS in the Integral I ordered or if I should stick to the OS140.
   
  The last time I ran YS was 8 years ago. I got frustrated with the various maintenance, gaskets, diaphrams, rings, bearings, falme outs and header failures that seemed to be a natural part of the YS experience. I switched to OS and never had a reliability problem again.
   
  However, I flew a 160 powered aircraft recently and imediately noticed the difference in speed control, torque etc that makes the YS the easier engine to fly the sequences.
   
  What's the typical maintenece on a modern YS?
   
  Flights per plug, flights between valve adjustment, pump adjustments/replacements, bearings, gaskets etc.
   
  And what's the cost of the 170?
   
  Any advice will be welcomed.
