Default RE: OS 33GT Gasoline Engine for Pattern


ORIGINAL: highfly3D

The OS 33GT looks great, can we fly the masters sequence with ease with this engine? in comparison to the electric power or YS.
Iflew Matt's Aesthesis this past Saturday with the OS 33GT. It's a little overweight, butthe OS has plenty of beans to spare to haul it through the Masters.It was a good power day, but I've seen Matt fly it on hot muggy days and there's no issue with power in those conditions either. Like any piped 2C, it has that extra bump in power when it gets on the pipe, but as Matt mentions, he's working on ways to soften that. It's not a sharp jump in power andis manageable, but would be a nicer throttle response in the lower 1/3 to 1/2 throttle range if the softening experiements work out. Iexpect that Matt will get the improvements he's looking for.
