Jim,
I have to agree the Syssa is one sweet engine, I have one in my GP Super Stearman also and love the way it flies! I have a new Syssa waiting for the 1/5 scale WACO when I get it completed.
Hi Jim,
How is your vertical on your GP S-Stearman with the Syssa? I'm imagining that it's nearly unlimited, depending upon how you propped it, etc.
I had a 1/5-scale Pica Waco; what a beautiful plane it was. My friend just had to have it, so I gave it up, but it "stayed in the family," so to speak. It flew with a Saito 150, and though it was enough power for scale flight, that was all it had. I should mention that a Waco looks best flying at scale speeds, but it never hurts to have enough extra to get out of trouble. It also needed a LOT of extra weight in the nose, so the Syssa just might be perfect.
