[NSRCA-discussion] Engines

Well, sort of I guess
 That was a fun time but a lot of work.  I burned
50-60 gallons of fuel each pattern season

Actually, it sounds like bragging to me. Bragging in Pattern is always part
of the fun. I'm sure some will say Nay, but hey, that's part of the fun too.
If we didn't have opinions might as well not do this at all

The YS110 would be an option, but it sounds like you HAVE the best engine!

 

Reminds me of a situation I had years ago.  

I was 2nd in Expert (this is before turn-around) in 1990 at the NATS.  Only
1 point out of 1st, RATS!  Anyway
  This was my first NATS since 1983, when
I also placed 2nd.  After the NATS I got a call from the nice people at
Byron Fuels
.  They wanted me to fly their fuel.  I explained to them that I
appreciated their interest in me, but that I was very happy with Morgan/Cool
Power fuels.  They persisted in telling me that they had the BEST fuel on
the market and that it was superior to Cool Power.  Well, I had to take
exception to that.  

You see, in the 2 ½ years leading up to the 1990 NATS, I never lost a single
ROUND at a pattern contest in Expert class!  I flew in 10-15 contests each
year.  In that period of time, I had not changed a single part in my YS
.60RE engine, other than a glow plug.  The engine never quit, was 110%
reliable.  So, I explained to the Byron folks, your fuel CAN’T be any
better!  It MIGHT be as good, but can’t be better
.

 

Long story to say that it sounds like you HAVE the best engine now!!  Why
change?

All:

Looking for opinions here.  I've been flying a Piedmont sport that tips the
scales at 9# even.  Powering it with a Y.S. 1.20 FS, and it's now 20 years
old.  Runs fine, but maybe not forever.  It turns an APC at 8800+ and offers
plenty of performance.

Question:  Is there anything else on the market that offers comparable
performance?

This is probably the most u ser-friendly  engine I've ever used; not moody,
always easy starting, runs at a repeatable setting every time, (1-1/4 turns
out on the main needle) and I'm wondering if there is anything else out
there that can match this performance/ease of use?

Thanks.  BTW: Opinions are O.K.; I realize these things are highly
subjective and anecdotal, and subject to individual viewpoints.
