Default FA80 hi-comp

I latched onto another FA80 intake manifold that was in much better shape than the one that was on the engine I bought at the swap meet for $20. I’m still going to try the fix the smashed intake with the ball bearings Gary sent me. That intake manifold is rare and almost unattainable. I got the engine all put back together this afternoon. The engine is the high compression version. It ran very strong on my 3% nitro home brew fuel spinning a 13X8. The idle was excellent. This engine came without an exhaust system but I found an RCS muffler at the swap meet near Dallas this weekend that fit it. This engine will be my back up for the one I have flying in a 4-Star 60.
