Matt, Icant wait to see that Shinden with the OScombo! Ihave been wanting a new Shinden really really bad! (Heck Id be happy with the last version!)
Because of your work and reports on the GT33, thats exactly the combo Iwould like to put together as well!

Cant wait to see how this go's, please keep us posted!
And thanks for all your effort, and postings here!
Definitely will do that. We'll try to make a video of that combo at some point. If you have something to put the 33 in let me suggest that youbreak one in and get it ready.They are very tight and take several gallons (4-5) to fully loosen. I have around 16 gallons through mine, approaching 300 flights, and it is running great. Not a singlemaintenance problem since it was returned from Hobby Services when it was new....

Soft mountsI have....ES pipes are highly recommended and available still. Hatori #2301 headers are also available from Hatori USA. Tower is currently running a special on the 33 and with the Super Saver, I picked another one up for $340. The set-up is basically off the shelf

And you are more than welcome. Heck, that's whatI do...love the designing, innovating and building at least as much as the flying.
Iam actually thinking seriously about replacing my YS170 with the GT33 in my Scandalous biplane for starters. My only concern is the nose ring part of the soft mount?
Imight throw a picture up later of the engine bay as it is now.
