<div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Let's get something straight...</font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's an SAP 180 and has power like no other gas engine in this class. Better than the 140 glow 2 strokes available and practically on par with the webra 160. Better than the YS 140 and 160. The YS 170 is the only one slightly ahead. By the time we get done with ringing the beastie out, I am not certain that the YS will still have the edge<br>
<br>
You must have missed one major point of the thread...the weight of this engine including ignition module is around 35 ozs. The soft mount I made for it is lighter than typical at 2 ozs. In my set-up I don't use a second battery and switch....so there is no weight penalty for that. I think most people will make weight easily with this gas engine. My plane for example will come in at under 10 lbs with this engine in it<br>
<br>
Let's not go through the semi monthly weight limit discussion so quickly. We still have two months to go before we need to start it again<br>

<div>I just happened to read the discussion on RCU about the SAP 140 and it occurred to me that maybe this is why raising the weight limit should be considered. This does not mean I agree, but just for thought.</div>

<div><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">, electrics want a weight break because their fuel tanks are heavy but their fuel is light; because two strokes aren't competitive any more we ought to have a high minimum weight for 4-strokes and electrics to level the playing field; and I want a weight break because I added 4 oz when I put ignition on my YS's.<br>

Pandora's box is no problem compared to changing pattern rules.<br>

<div>Maybe if the weight limit was raised gas engines would become viable for pattern?<br>
