[NSRCA-discussion] OS 91FX or 120 AX for Focus sport

[michael s harrison]

Cant get too much power.  Do the 120.  Also, consider replacing the bearing
with the OS1.4 efi bearing and the engine will run great forever.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] OS 91FX or 120 AX for Focus sport

 

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to pattern flying. I'm considering to buy the Focus sport and
want to "keep it simple" with the engine. I know the Focus was design for YS
110 but for cost/ simplicity reasons i am considering the OS 91 FX or the OS
120 AX. In the OS web site they claim that the 120AX is 20% more power but
when I compare efficiency it looks like the 91FX wins. Its 6% more efficient
in power to Wight and 16% more in power to displacement. Am I missing
something? Practical RPM misleading numbers? What would be your
recommendation?
