Which 40-50 2 stroke has the most linear transition? Hovering is much easier with a linear throttle. Please give me your opinions.

Thanks,

Of the engines I have... TT 46, OS 46 SF, MVVS .40, Irvine .53, MDS .40, ST 61, ST 90...

The MVVS .40 and the Irvine .53 are by far the best at throttle transition and instant response.

I've got a Webra .50 that I haven't run yet... So the jury is still out on that one.

My Webra 50 is going in a Aeron that I will be building as soon as I finish my Menace...

Wayne - Are you running yours on a pipe?

Haven't been able to get much building time in... I've been spending time being a father and a husband lately....

My stock Webra .50 muffler weights 3 3/4 oz !!! It's a tank!! I'm thinking seriously about the mousse can pipe for this one.

First of all, my vote is on the Webra 50. I LOVE THEM!!!

Paul, regarding the Webra stock muffler on your Aeron? The Webra 50 has so much extra power in comparison to the weight of the Aeron, you won't have to worry about it.

Also, I just remembered that I owe you to the dimension on my Extra Long Mac header that I am running on my Aeron - SORRY!!!

I hear you on the power... I just don't want all that weight up front.

Paul - I know what you are saying regarding the extra weight up front, but reaqlize that on the Aeron the spar has been moved but in the design of the ribs. I recommend that you do not start with the CG any further than 1/8" behind the spar. I had a problem on my first production Aeron that I built to get the CG forward. I had to run a large batt. pack in the very front of the inside portion of the wing to get the CG close to the spar. I wouldn't worry about the weight of the muffler and where the CG ends up with the stock muffler installed until you get it built and check it.

Thanks for the tips..... I'd like to start building it in a week or soo.... Nice instructions... very clear. I also like the way you build the fuse.. by sheeting it in stages to make the pull-pull easier to install. It was really a bear with my SuDoKhoi....

On my Webra 50 an MVVS tuned muffler with a slim line header works great and it's light.

Ys 45 has the best fuel delivery system in 2 stroke engines. When a YS is set up (regulator and needle valve) they run smooth and consistant from full tank to dry.

Hideho all,

The correct answer to your question is the YS 45.
Sure there are many other terrific engines, but with the accuracy of the fuel delivery of YS, none can compare.

I liken it to comparing the fuel injected vehicals of today compared to the normally aspirated vehicals of 20 years ago.

Notice your question did not use weight as a qualifiyer.

And FWIW, I have compared the YS to Webra, OS, Rossi, MVVS, and the YS is spot on, one click of the throttle stick = 100 rpm...or so it seems.

Good question, good thread.

Thanks for your reply Mike, very informative. But.... How does the weight compair? I'm guessing the extra fuel delivery system adds some baggage. Is it worth it?

Sure it is worth it. The ys has enough power and throttle accelleration to fit your needs. I have Jett Engineering turbo in cowl muffler on mine and it will swing a 12X6 APC at 12,500 rpm

If you can keep the plane light enough, I'd suggest the TT GP 42. I'v
