------------------


1.90 cubic inches is 30cc. This engine is 2.20 cubic inches, so it is larger than 30cc.

Thanks for the info. Any Idea when during next year?

Funny thing is that I ran a Saito 1.5, w/CH ignition and a cylinder shim, on 90 octane pump gas, with a 16:1 gas to oil mixture, five years or so ago. Thanks to the fine thread high speed needle, I was able to use the stock carb. I flew it in a Ace 4-120 bipe for a few months.
It's still in the bipe but running on glow without the shim now.

The magazine in Japan reports that the developping is in a final process so
I would think it will be released soon next year.
They say it has a drum rotary type Walbro carb to get smoother transition.

I see one in my future if it sells for around $750 or less. Fat chance of that happening.

OS 120AX outputs 3.1HP so it would produce a bit less power than 20cc 2 stroke.
