    My RCS 1.40 shook the flying wires off my 3D Freedom the frist time I ran it! It's a nice engine, but it's not very nice on airframes.

    Sea, if you say your RCS is as smooth as your Saito 180 then that proves the RSC 140 shakes. The Saito 180 is a real shaker.

    if you are the type to not balance a prop
    not tinker with the needles to make the transistion of the motor smooth
    run bent spinners
    not tighten your bolts well with loctite

    any motor is going to give your plane troubles.

    i have had satio, os, rcs, brison, zdz, 3w, tt, bme all have ran very smooth ys on the other hand vibrates more than any motor i have had or seen. yes i have a ys-91 on a g-trick. my rcs 1.4 runs very very smooth.

    its those folks at the field who don't have all the nesecarry tools to make rc the best it could be that usually run into all those problems of things fallling apart and flying when they know things are not correct but they just want that one more (last flight).

    prop 4 or 6 pitch is a good way to go when a person overpowers an aircraft. now the average person that overpowers their plane will fly it faster than it should be which may induce flutter.

    it boil down to eachs own and its their time and money as long as they are safe. i am sure my sting ray is overpowered compared to my pinto but thats another story...

    I sure agree with everything you are saying.
    And the largest pitch prop I own is only 8 most are 6 or smaller.

    That's good news for me. Now I won't be tempted to buy it so I can finish saving up for my 'vette.

    Might want to reconsider the 1.20 Look at the weight diff between it and the 100...Its a significant amount..Not sure how much more power you would get in the end...Actually the 150 is lighter than the 1.20 but I think thats just way to much for it..
