Status: offline 		Dino Di Giorgio won best of class, and best gasoline engine performance at Top Gun last week with his Airworld FW-190 with Airworld Radial power.

It was a sad day for two stroke engine owners. He ruined it for everyone. The sound of the 5 cylinder four stroke gasoline engine, swinging a 34 inch prop was the most scale sound ever heard in piston RC. Coming out of a dive, with wide open throttle, the sound was dead on... this is a real warbird.

Congratulations Dino, and thanks for the great airshow you put on in formation with Paul's massive P-61. It does not get better than that

Congrats to Dino!

I was lucky enough to be there and witness that beautiful bird fly. The favorite manoever was coming around the left end of the field banked at 90 degrees with that sweet 5 cylinder humming! Oooh! I just felt a little "stirring"

My buddy and I would like to get some info (i.e. Price and availabilty with specs) on the new Airworld 150 Radial.


Best Regards

Bob

Thanks to everyone. It was a fun event. Many thanks to all the guys at Airworld USA for their support. JC is hiding some of the pictures. I am sure he will share them with us soon!

Johnny, it was good seeing you again.
The engine should be plenty of power. Remember it will swing a 32x18 prop nicely. The AW215 idles at 600 rpm and has a 5600 max at the moment. I think that they are being cautious at that rate. The FW 190 weighs around 46-48 lbs.

know anyone looking for 2 RAM 1000's? Selling them for an AW 215 RADIAL!!!

Regards,
Dino
