Then you do own the predecessor of the 5-port goldhead generation, namely the OPS "Ursus" 3-ports pattern RCA engine.

Please check out the above posted OPS links. That has already been explained on RCU...

I have one of the gold head Super .60's like in that picture - my buddy sold me a Cass Pulsar bipe, older radio (worth zip), and one of these with an OPS pipe and that had maybe 20 flights on it with the Pulsar. And of those flights, I was on the sticks at least 50% of the time. The whole bundle was a bit steep though, at $100 [sm=lol.gif] ......

Two motors I have owned have really opened my eyes as to what a well designed and built engine can really do - this .60, and my first Jett. My .60 is an absolute joy to run - tick over idle, good transition, gobs of top end. Fuel it, prime it, flip it through a couple times to get it wet, then glow on and a little backwards tap on the prop and off it goes. Pretty much every time at least..

And they all look so cool.

Update:
Aeromarine is not selling OPS any more, and is down to whatever parts they have left. I just ordered head shims and case gaskets.
