Hi everyone, I purchased an OS FL 70 a little while ago and I am in the breaking in process. I havent messed with any of the settings yet but out of the box it started without any problems. Ive been reading up on the forums here and have been seeing some mixed opinions. Yes it is a cheap version of the FS 70 and yes it does have an ABC. It does have bearings and it has some advantages to the FS 70 in weight and size.
Like Ive said, Ive seen mixed opinions about this engine and one thing that worries me is that some people report a high idle. They cant seem to get it below 3000 rpm. Others say that its a great engine also.
Ive noticed on the specs that its rpm range is about 2300 - 11000 or so as opposed to the FS 70 with 2000 - 11000. I guess that may explain the higher idle speed
Im not worried too much about the peak power but I am worried about the reliability and the ability to hold a low idle.
To anyone who has seen this being used, or have used it, Do you have a problem with the idle?
I guess the best thing to do is go out and use it... Only time will tell about the reliability of this engine
But if you have any info or suggestions and advice please let me know!
