Hot setup for the 120 Superchaged engine
Does anyone have the hot setup for the OS 120 Supercharged engine?
What is the correct fuel? Prop? Needle settings? etc.
I would like to think that it is an everyday runner, but I do need some starting point guidelines.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds.

In this forum, you will only get a response from us. Only O.S. Support staff may post here.
With the O.S. FS-120 SP supercharged engine, we'd run an APC 13.5 x 13.3 propeller with 30% nitro fuel with 25% oil content and see the engine turn approximately 10,500 RPM when leaned to peak RPM. It was designed with high-nitro, high-oil fuels in mind, and runs best on such a fuel.
The engine was originally intended for F3A Pattern flying.
