Default RE: Let's gasify a Vanquish

Just thought i would add, that my Dad bought a pte36 and todayi test flew it for himin a 80+ inch arf pt 19.
it acts like it was pre run by the factory or redwing before he got it. it started right up and idled perfectly and ran very strong at full throttle. we didnt even adjust the needles, i didn't think we could have made it better it ran so well.
no ground running besides the first start and run of a couple of minutes and then we refueled it and flew it.
the pt had unlimited vertical at full throttle but looked more like a big yellow P51 speed wise (i'm surprised we didn't blow the pilots out of the open cocpits). it flew better at less than half throttle (a little more scale at that speed) i think he had a zoar 19-8 on it.and it pulled that easy.
instant throttle response from idle andinstant response from half throttle.
it is clearly the best gas engine i have run recently.
i might be putting one in place of my ys170 soon
Dave.
