RE: OS 1.08fsr?

I have the OS 108 on my Mayhem 60. I run 15 percent and a APC 17x4w prop. Vertical out of sight. I don't run a pump and it runs fine. It's a real sweet engine and runs great with no problems. Try the...

RE: 2 cycle vs 4 cycle

The SOUND!!! If it looks scale I need a 4 stroke in it. If it looks generic it gets a 2 stroke. Either one runs well if set up correctly.

RE: Engine Quits After Take Off

Neil, I will assume you have installed a NEW glow plug. The reason I mention this is this is classic results of a worn out glow plug. Had this happen to me a lot in my control line days and a few...

RE: Just Engines Inc.--Bad Business

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Just Engines but that is no reason for me not to do business with what I consider a good company. So I will continue my business with them as usual.

RE: DRagon Lady ARC

I'm sure the Dragon Lady will handle the Saito 150. Mine has an OS 108 that weighs 30-32 ounces with a pitts muffler. Should look great on floats.

RE: Noise Issues

Some how I don't see 4 strokes and electrics flying together. Best to have engine power at a new field and the electrics at the old. More harmony that way.

RE: Futaba or JR, give me your thoughts.

It's hard to give someone an opinion because both radios are stone axe reliable. You will just have to decide which you like best and buy it. Just remember which ever brand you buy is probably what...

RE: World Models Midget Mustang

Rod, the one I have flys great. It has an OS91fs with a 13x9 APC prop and moves along pretty fast. It's a clean airplane and carries it's speed well, so you need a good idle on landing. Mine is a...
