Which engine would be faster?
I'm finishing up another delta and have 2 engines to choose from, a GMS .32 and a OS .46FX. I have always used the .32 on my deltas but would the .46FX be faster? My experience tells me the bigger engine is not always the fastest because of RPM. I thought I should run it by some of you speed freeks and see what you guys think.
Thanks,
David

RE: Which engine would be faster?
Not enough information to actually answer the question.
How large is the aircraft ? Wing area? Expected weight?
Since you have used the GMS in the past, what props were tried and what were the resulting RPM numbers?
I know that the 46FX properly set up and with the correct prop is quite capable for sport speed applications - that part of the puzzle I can provide.
