Status: offline 		I already have two planes with the OS .55AX. The first is a Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 40 and the second is a kit built Rookie look-a-like called an SR-41. Both engines are nearly a year old and have run flawlessly since day one. Today I purchased another .55AX for the new Great Planes Revolver which recommends a .55 two-stroke at the top of its range.

I think you'll find those props too small. At the very least you won't get anywhere near the speed a 12x7 will yield. Some guys in my club tried 11x6 and smaller, none of them liked it. You'll be at 14000rpm on the ground and then run out of revs in the air, not good for an engine.

Of course, if you're into hovering etc then use whatever works....I don't pretend to be an expert on that stuff.

Huge difference with the Ultra Thrust. Runs as reliably as the stock muffler but tends to go from idle to full power without much mid range. That's OK because the plane I'm using it on is built for speed. I did mix some throttle curve into the radio to help improve controlling the mid range.

Status: offline 		Here she is! Love those SFG's. I've tried 2 fuels w/ the .55 (Omega 15% and Wildcat 15%.) The midrange sucks with the Omega. I'm guessing it's the castor oil?? Stick w/ Wildcat, runs great!
