Default RE: OS 33GT Gasoline Engine for Pattern

I've been running the DLE20 in a 1.10 class TWM SPot on all of last year. I retired the airframe the beginning of this year to fit it into a H9 SHowtime 90. THe Spot on was simply poorly constructed and after a few mishaps showed age and an marked increase in weight.<div>
</div><div>The DLE 20 provides fantastic throttle responce and instant spool up on an APC 17x6. I've run various pipes as well and am achieving 8400rpm on the ground with a canister.</div><div>
</div><div>My next gasser Pattern plane project will be an Evolution with the Mintor 38 on pipe. The OS GT33 is the back up plan.</div><div>
</div><div>I don't think theres going to be many petrol pattern planes at the Worlds in 2013 (to be held at 1600m above sea level) but I believe it will become more widely accepted thereafter.</div>
