RE: Lil Toni Engine Choice
FBD - The personal satisfaction for me with this plane will be getting the most speed. As for the cool factor of the YS, I had a YS 63 and could not get it to run right. Now I am willing to bet the problem was user error, but it has left me a bit leary of the YS engines. My 4 strokes are Saito and I have Irvine, GMS and Jett 2 strokes. I do like the sound of 4 strokes better, but if I have do sacrifice the preferred sound of the 4 stroke for speed, I would.
I always thought you wanted the max RPMs for speed, but the rule of thumb I have heard on 4 strokes is 10k. Given the 4 can turn a bigger prop but a 2 can turn higher RPM, which is preferred for speed? This is starting to get confusing.
Thanks alot for your help.
