Default Taurus are ugly?

--(same cylinder as Brison uses-Male. are they ugly?)-All of mine are under a cowl-- --sssooo----and yes it is stronger to me--PS-you can't always go by RPM figures-I have owned BMEs, 3Ws etc......and the Taurus is stronger-
Example--My 3.2 will swing a 22/10 Zinger Pro 7000+ RPM--then I switched to a Beila 22/10 and lost 500 RPM and it yanked my Pitts stright up. In talking to Bill O at SouthGate, these engines are suited for the 5800-7000 RPM range, and they are torquey, so they can pull those big props at a lower RPM with no problem at all. (this is a prop a 3.7 would have difficulity swinging) This is certainly the engine/prop/plane combo. My point is that I am not sure many 3.2s out there can swing a big heavy prop such as the Beila 22/10 with authority. But there may be engines that can produce those RPMs with the Zinger Pro.
