I must respectfully disagree, CP. I am not sure how many engines I own or have run, but the number must exceed 300 and I have yet to find one I could not injure myself with regardless of propeller material.

Status: offline 		I have heard a lot of people complain about the GP07 even when it was new right out of the box. I have found that because of the integral carb it has problems keeping NV adjustments. I simply used the NVA and made a remote NV after which the problem was sorted. I don't know RPM figures yet(trying to find decent Tach) but it makes a fair bit of thrust with only that mod. I also drilled the muffler outlet up to 6.5mm and that made it even better. I am currently making a turbo head for it so that should be interesting. The supposedly "new" GP07 looks exactly like tho "old" one. Is there any real differance?
