I have been thinking I wanted a 22 pounder but I know in my hart I want a skymaster f15 and the 22 pounder any going to work so I would rather get a 24-30 pounder and turn it down
When looking at the older turbines... generally, the engines in the upper 20's are just hotter versions of low 20# engines. A good example is RAM. The 750 was originally, 17#. the 750+ was 22#, and the 1000 was 28#. Then Carlos turned it up to 30#. (all the same engine, with updates)
With the more modern engines.... the 22 Lb engines are SAMLL !!!! Some companies got the "54" sized engines turned up to 100N. (like Wren, and Jet Central)
The Gripen you just got can hold a "Larger" engine. So, it would be to your benefit to buy a large engine, and turn the thrust down to match the air-frame, so you can move it to your F-15 later.
