Default Tartan Twin 77 questions

Well, I've owned but never tried the Gas version of the Tartan twin...But the word was the power was.........not there..litterally...

However if your guy can buy this engine pretty resonable ...You can send it to Bob Ousley or Jim Cline and have it set up for alcohol.......Costs alittle more than gasoline ($2.00 a gallon) mix
in about 5-6 ozs of klotz oil........But once these guys get ahold of one......It will sing Mine spins a 19/10 Menz about 8700 -9000..on no nitro....

These engines ...way back when..were THE engine at the TOC
and those two guys (and some others) did the tuning....

They can also light a fire on other engines..and still pretty user friendly...Anyone who flies one will tell you stock GAS or Alcohol
is good for a paper weight.

I've seen some Carden 30% extras pulled out of sight with GREAT authority with that little engine
