my only reason to avoid the gas engine is they cant perform well in the masters sequence in comparison to a YS or electric power.

Having seen Matt fly the Masters sequence more than a few times with Aesthesis, IMHO this is not accurate.

This is a gasser that can do the verticals with no sweat and without spooling up high rpm's. The noise level (or lack thereof) is something that has to be seen to be believed. Sounds like an incredibly well set up OS 1.60 (glow) with only the lack of a smoke trail telling you that something special is happening.

Take Matt up on his offer to see for yourself.

After seeing this model fly I sometimes think I abandoned the gasser option a little too quickly, but for a while there it seemed that Syssa was the last, best hope and I didn't have the patience to wait it out. However, I do not regret going electric.

I just want a reliable machine that doesn't cost a lot to operate and maintain.

A few questions.

What is the weight of the regular fuselage versus the Evo?

Can the Evo be ordered with the T Can?

Shipping cost to the U.S?

Are they in stock?

Thank you

Thanks Bob, electric reliability has come of age....Guys doing the E thing are blessed with all kinds of support from a bunch of sources. This will only continue to get better

Seeing is believing. Reliability of this small gassie has been amazing after the initial backplate hic-up on the OS33. Well over 60 hours of operation now. Look Ma, no 4 stroke maintenace hassles; and NO SLIME!! LOL

We will soon see the Vanquish using the PTE 36R engine.

Either of these engines will work great on Benoit's new airplane the Phoenix. I suspect the new DLE35RA will work too. The rear exhaust engines make for simpler set-ups in pattern models

I assume weight of the new plane is no issue, heh Benoit??

I have been running YS four strokes for 11 years now and do not have any hassles with maintenance. As for "SLIME", with the cdi and 11% oil, there is very little oil to clean off the model.
Saying this i have been following your posts in regards to gas patternships. I have a valiant fuse which i am going to install a gas engine to. My OS GT33 has arrived and is waiting for me to pick it up. Should be an interesting exercise.

Scott, great, and good luck with that....

Are you intending to use a piped set-up? Have you found a header?

I'm not sure how close fitting the cowl will be around the engine. You might need some baffling; nothing fancy just some close fitting ducting that will ensure proper cooling. I use 1/32'' glassed balsa fitting within 1/4'' of the cylinder fins. It has worked flawlessly in 95 degree heat

Can you send a link to the Hatori exhaust system? A muffler might improve mid range transition a bit but would reduce overall torque capability.

Trying to turn the large props on muffler alone is a good experiment and something I want to watch. Please keep me informed of your progress

Sorry it took me a while to see this as I've been in the process of moving in to a new house. I completely disagree with your statements. Having won Masters this year at the NATS I have a reasonable idea of what it takes. I did fly electric this year, but I have flown Matt's stuff in the past and power certainly wasn't a problem. Matt knows what he is doing and his stuff works. When I flew his plane he was still flying the Syssa and I know he is getting more power out of the newer motors he is experimenting with. Just because others are saying YS and electric are the only viable options does not mean that is truly the case. I personally have no desire to fly gas or glow currently as I'm really enjoying electric and it works great, but Matt wouldn't be using it if it didn't work. Fortunately, for the hobby, we have people like Matt who like to experiment and try new stuff so that we don't have to. I remember when I did the Vanquish build thread and people said there is no way you could put a gasser on a Vanquish. A week later, he looks at mine and says, absolutely you can, and now he is showing people how. I would take Matt up on his offer to try his setup or quit making comments about what will or wont work.
