Status: offline 		cool it really does look possible.... what engine/pipe is that?

you couldn't conceal the engine if you ran it upright though, right? no cooling.... i don't know if it would be worth it if the head stuck up... you just loose one way or the other

Status: offline 		that is a Jett FIRE 50 shown there. Jett/Macs pipe

it would be hard to enclose the engine on the F-20. Lines of the plane do not work out that way. - just as well to let the cylinder out in the breeze.

osborjr- yep erikpmort nailed it in one..shipping charges make it expensive being O/S as opposed to someone locally to you

Status: offline 		Hi FBD, my F-4 runs a very healthy ST G90 turns a MA 12 X 8 at 12,600 last time I tached it, still not fully broken in ..though I haven't flown it in ages..my club has banned IC engines ..they have been looking for a new site to fly at..but no luck so far and it's almost been 3 months now since the ban!!!

Status: offline 		well thats all they're letting fly at the moment..electric's..gee what a hassel one complaint can cause!!!
I started going through all the speed electric threads like the one about the vendetta etc ...even if I sold all the glow stuff , I might get one set up for high speed electrics but thats at a cost of about three or four other planes...electric speed is not cheap!!!..so I'll just wait it out till they find another field..or I'll find another club..

Status: offline 		It is amazing how fast those electrics are, especially how heavy they are.

I thought about an electric, but I love the smell of castor in the morning !!

Quite frankly, I wouldn't trade my YS powered Dago Red for a whell barrow full
of electrics.

I'd be finding me another place to fly, might be easier to get those bronze wings too at another field.
