Default RE: Close look at GP .07 Thunder Tiger

For some of us who are not trying to go fast or 3-D, high rpm numbers mean little. For sport flying, a 1/2A motor that starts easily, never quits and can run on the same medium nitro fuel as one's larger engines is good enough. Swinging a largish prop if needed is also a plus.

Having said that, I will say that my GP-07 is, so far, is the weakest small engine I have ever run. (and truly the hardest to start and sort out for the first runs.) Too bad, as it is a real looker. Maybe when it breaks in a bit...
