Jett only builds sport engines. (with the exception of the Q-500 and QM40 engines.).
While I agree with you, the guys writing the rules do not.

But its hard to beat a YS110 or an older YS120 for this sorta job.
4 strokes are not popular in warbird racing in our series. There aren't any classes that support them. We don't use a sliding scale for wing area like the RCPRO guys do. There's a minimum wing area and maximum motor size, that's basically it. I'd like to see a YS 110 run against a 120AX or 91 heli motor. Maybe this year I will.

I got a drive washer ordered from YS today. I need to get a header and pipe from MAC's and I should be ready to rock.

Thanks guys,


Chris
