Status: offline 		Well first off I want to tell you that this engine will go in a Morris Hobbies Top Cap. I want to know what you guys think will be a good engine for it, I have already picked a few that I like, one being a rossi .45 with a tuned pipe and header, but I hear that it is old stuff now-a-days, and my other choice would be the ys .45, now I hear that engine would be awsome with it, does anybody have any suggestions???

Stong little engine - it has had about three tanks and on a very rich setting it pulls a 10x6 APC (abt 60 F and 1,000 ft and 30%humidity) it showed 14K. Next time out I will lean it more. I'm sure it will reliably spin that at 14.5K. All this on 5% Omega. They don't need or want high nitro.

Want more? I have heard there .45 and .49 are great as well. By the way the power is not the most impressive things about these engines - it is the instant throttle response. They are instant.

My only complaint is the noise - the mini pipe setup is very loud.

They have good support also.
I lost a muffler besause of the screw breaking in flight. They sent me a whole new muffler assy.
They are reasonable in price too.

Status: offline 		The Jett Super Sport .40 is the best sport .40 on the market. Not cheap, but the best. The Y.S. .45 is also an excellent choice but I just heard a few days ago that Y.S. is discontinuing their .45 2-stroke.
