Yesterday a friend brought over an ASP .15 Hornet that we ran up on my test stand in my back yard. It's got a very small chambered muffler, but seems to put out decent thrust. I was very impressed, seems to be a sweet running little sport engine. He's putting it in a Sterling 54 inch wingspan Piper Cub kit plane, originally single channel with auxiliary throttle converted to full house. Being light weight, it should fly fine on its 4 oz. fuel tank, may be even snag a thermal or two.
I've already got enough .15's, 2 - Enya .15-III TV's, an OS Max .15R/C, an OS Max .15FP-S, a Fox .15-X and a TT .15GP, which is a really sweet running engine, that as intriguing as that ASP is, I'm satisfied for now.
