Anybody try the SK50 ABC yet?
Just got one in the mail today -- will mount on CG540 that I'm just now finishing. 50 bucks Seemed a good price & they claim 16oz with muffler. Nice people to talk to also. I have not weighed it, but the muffler is HEAVY. The tight spot at TDC seems pretty loose for an ABC, but have not run it yet to check power. Remote needle is nice and overall appearance and initial once over look good. If anybody's interested I'll report back in a month when it flies.
Am wondering what props are being used with this engine, what rpms they're turning, and if a smaller muffler (stock off 36 Magnum pro) would hinder performance.

Got one comming in the mail. It's going to be in 2 reviews here on RCU in the next 30-60 days. I'd love to hear what you think too.

Go here:

Then select SK engines in the left menu.
The best price I have found so far is from this dealer:

Never got to try mine out. Bench test confirmed low power -- maybe due to loose TDC. Returned it and never got the replacement. Finally got $ back. Oh yea, the remote needle bracket crapped out during break-in. Nice guys but...............
