Oh, sorry, I meant I used 2 O.S. 40 four strokers. I could have taken off in grass easy with this set up. My take off roll was very short if I jammed the throttles to the firewall. Most of the time I would take off on 3/4 to 2/3 power to make it look a little more real. I have been looking into engines for my C-130 lately. While I like the LA series, I don't think blue engines sticking out of the cowls is going to look right. O.s. does not make a silver version for the .25! I thought about 4 strokes but they are expensive and just wont sound right anyway. I think I am going to go with the FX series. They are just as reliable in my experience with them and they have that extra power.

I flew at the rams a couples times. Last time I was there was for a pattern meet. Nice field, but I used to live about 7 minutes from the big paved runway out at Ft. Lewis. You can't get much better then that!
