My 1.08 gets compliments on the sound it makes when I fly it now. The 16-6 prop pulls better at lower revs, and with the pump working right, it never sounds thin or tinny like it used to. I am totally satisfied with the performance of the engine. I just need to put it on a lighter plane by about 1 lb to get the performance I want. Now I'm itching to get to that G2300 that's still in the box!
I picked up a 1.6FX new in box in the market place so I looks like I will not go the ST for now.
If you are going to use a pump on the ST2300, my guess is that this bypass system will be the way to go.
I'm sure you are right about that. I'll be trying it stock first, just as a baseline. I think the pump and bypass system is probably what will keep me into the two stroke motors. The four strokes don't have much at all on a well set-up two stroke, not even sound.
I love the 1.60, but my budget just wouldn't allow it. My friend has one without a pump, and it sounds a little thin in the midrange, even though it is plenty rich up top and idles well. He's got it on a 15 lb scratch built model. Hauls it out of sight, no problem. You'll have to use a throttle stop with the F90 to keep the wings on! It'll be a whole new airplane, and much more fun to fly.
It was to good of a deal to pass it by in the Market Place. Not sure if it will go in the F90 or the Yak. [&:] I sold the YS110 that was in the Yak--just did not like the cost of high nitro fuel.
