Default RE: Jack Sheets Hurricane

Jack Sheeks also used ENYA 35s in some of his larger models.

ENYA engines do have noticeably more power than typical Fox 35s or modern alternatives, but they take a long time to break-in right, and as iron-in-steel engines, benefit from ample castor in the fuel (~25%). They don't wear out, though.

I saw Jack with his Hurri at a Nats. Think it had a modded Fox35. The old Fox is still a very useful engine, given a few touches and a decent break-in. But, you'll still have all that castor to get off the exterior... It CAN handle models up to 40+ oz or so, but with a bit more evident slowing in climbs and corners.

Enjoy!
