Status: offline 		I just got a flip 3d for Christmas and was wondering if i should put a YS 45 in it or an Os 61 fx and what prop? I have both engines laying around.

Thanks
Chris

Have a Madness with the YS45 and the 50 has substantially more power. The YS would allow for mounting the tank way back in the fuse. The 50's power more than makes up for it.

I have a 61 FSR, and it weighs allot more than the 50. CPLR flys his with a OS46, and that is the motor it was designed around, so the 50 gives it the extra boost.

Status: offline 		Nah, he flies with either a YS 45, or 63. Remember, he is sponsered by YS. I think I'll use an Irvine 53, with more power (I hope!)

I don't know exact weight but definitely felt heavy in the air and especially for landing.

Status: offline 		Hey robert, does the Irvine engine have the same muffler mount as a .46 fx ? Does anyone know where to get one in the US?

Status: offline 		Irivne 53 is the same as the 46FX and TT Pro-46 thus the Tower/Pitts and UT mufflers will fit-

The Irvine has tons of power!
