"I think we all agree the GMS engine is a great engine when it works well. "
All engines are great engines when they work well.
Problem is a lot of GMS's don't run well.
Yeah, one of our club members has just fired up his new GMS 47 and it seems to suffer from air-sickness. He hasn't got a single flight of more than 60 seconds before the engine dies.
He had *no* problems at all with exactly the same plane, tank, fuel-lines, etc when it had a TT46 Pro in it -- so go figure.
I should be firing up my GMS32 next weekend so I'll report what I find but, given that I can feel the bearings grumbling straight out of the box, I'm not holding my breath that this will be one of those rare (around here anyway) GMSes that "work well". I'm ordering a TT42GP to take its place just in case. The TT is cheaper, lighter and more powerful anyway.
