Default RE: Let's gasify a Vanquish

The piped OS 33 GT isvery very close topar with the YS170 and 175 regarding torque. Same props, higher rpm on the top end (which means greater top end power than YSs) which we don't really need, but outstanding middle where the YSs have made their bones. Right now I think it is the only one with the right kind of power for top level Pattern. I have not tested RCGF32's but Ed has one and at some point he'll have to give itto me to play with. OS has gotten about everything right in that small package out of the gate. The only way it could be better is if it were rear exhaust.....

I am running a Bowman ring in the DLE. It's a good ring, seals properly,but it can't create power. I am only running a canister on the DLE right now. A pipe is on its way so I'll get apples apples comparison at some point.

Crashed the Vanquish today tho so it's gonna be a while before I get to the pipe experiment. I ran the fool thing outta gas having too much fun. DLE died on the downwind leg on landing and with the strong head wind we had today,VQ had little chance. Crashed it behind the tree line luckily or it would have been a total loss.

The landing gear mounting block snapped into two pieces. Hell, the mounting block is not poorly designed or constructed, as sooo many of the electric guys haveyelled and screamedabout....the problem was me; I'm not supposed to run it outta gas low and slow

So at the moment you feel the OS 33 would be a better choice for a pattern application?

Iwonder, have you thought about installing Frank Bowman rings in the DLE 35? Maybe that might bump up the torque enough ot swing the bit larger props, and slow the speed down?
Maybe you have, and Imissed reading it.
