Default RE: Engine for Tiger 2 Kit


ORIGINAL: Invasionhunter

I am thinking about either the O.S. 46 2 stroke or Magnum XL 52 four stroke. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated as well as pros/cons of each.
Thank you,
Glenn

The 52FS is going to have the power of a 30 two stroke. A 30 two stroke won't fly that Tiger very well at all. Does Magnum make a 75 four stroke? That'd be a more honest comparison.

If you are planning to buy a new engine, then an OS46AX would be a great choice. They break in perfectly with one tank of gas, following OS's instructions, followed by a couple of safely rich flights. I lost count of the 46AXs I've broken in and maidened for guys. And don't remember how many I've had. They are superb engines, maybe the best beginner's engine ever.
