Default YS 120 tachometer readings

I ran my YS120NC on Wildcat 15% nitro and 18% oil and I got 9400 on the APC propeller. Idle down to under 1000 rpm for about 45 seconds before it would load up and die.

This is a GREAT engine.

Default YS 120 tachometer readings

My low-time FZ120 turns an APC 16x8 around 8700 and an APC 15x10 around 8500 using Cool Power 20% Pro Pattern fuel and the stock muffler. It was still set on the rich side when I took these readings last fall...
