RE: I Found a New Rossi 53 in an old hobby shop!!
Guys, thank you for the in-put. I'm going to take very good care of both of these engines.
I've seen it mentioned that both engines were designed to run on about 5% nitro, it that true? If so it might be hard for me to find without having to order a case of the stuff (but I would if I had too...DUHhh [>:]).
There were no shims in the box, but I'll order several.
I also have a Jett 35 that screams and so I'll be looking to see how these two pair-up. I'm in the process of covering a Lanier Shrike 40 I started from scratch...this will be interesting.
One final note - I also recently purchased a "Just Engines" (J'EN 53 with a long "purple pipe"). I was, untill yesterday, thinking of replacing the origionally intended Evo 46 and placing the J'EN 53 in it instead. But...now...I don't know what to do. I'm as confused as a kid in a candy store!!?!??
