The GP. 61 is a bigger engine. It is a .65. Very strong engine.

If you read the specs carefully (as per Tower Hobbies Tech notes), you will see that the GP61 is actually a .64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps herein lies the greater power output claim.



Cordially,

My TT 46 Pro was run over by a car after crashing. Now it still runs great, turning APC 12x4 @ 14000 rpm w/ a BCM strap-on muffler.

Status: offline 		Yes, the TT Pro is one tough engine. A person who was learning on a trainer of mine with a TT Pro 46, nose-dived the plane into the bone-dry ground of my flying field last summer, breaking off the muffler at the mount (damage was done to the engine casting). After some alterations, including making a spacer to replace the lost material on the damaged exhaust port and a thorough cleaning, the engine still runs strong on an identical trainer, with no diminished performance!

Mostly likely it is a typo. The GP is a plain bearing engine that is grossly detuned from the ball bearing version.

It is indeed 0.646 cu in. Look at the bore and stroke and do the math yourself. It has the same stroke as the Pro 61, but larger bore.

I don't think it is detuned. It just doesn't have ball bearing, and has air bleed carb. Mainly cost saving measure. However, its power is pretty good if propped for lower rpm range, especially when compared with the Pro 61, which is not a particularly powerful 61 anyway.

Status: offline 		With a healthy sized prop, the TT "61" GP will easily out-pull both the TT 61 Pro & the OS 61 FX (both of which are pretty average in performance). If you want to wind them until they squeak, the 61 Pro has a small advantage in performance. IMO, all things considered, the GP is a better choice.
