Default ASP Black valve cover!!

Sorry guys! I couldn't resist...

Since I haven't started the engine yet...and since the O.S alpha and magnums are coming with a blue valve cover....
Why not a black cover ASP? maybe YS like????

I was spraying some parts for a plane..and I was doing it with a black laquer for car chasis, a very strong laquer....and....I thought...why not??

Here are the results!

That paint job should be good for another 500 rpm. Whatcha think? <G>

It looks good.

It may reduce the drag, making the plane go faster!

I have my own version, I polish the cover. I think it gives me a good 400-500 rpm more[sm=lol.gif]

Well, if nothing else it looks good

Nice engines fellows[8D] I wish I too would learn how to post pictures sometime, it would make for more interesting threads, especially about modding.

Only a little more than the golden Saito FA-30. I was thinking about the Saito but when I found out there were 1000 made, I decided on this one. Only 150 made.

If the Stock one is not expensive enough, I would hate to see the price of that one.[X(]

Tower lists the FSa-56 for 285. I paid 327 shipped from Japan. I don't know exactly which shop it came from. I used to work in the industry and have a few connections.
