Cheap engines
I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
I have heard this bashing at our club every time I go. I have remained silent as not to offend some good friends who I respect and who's flying ability is greater than mine, but..................... some of this talk is cr*p. I see guy's using GMS engines in spad dogfights, I mean dogfights, mid air collisions, crashes , high revs, over lean flights. Super great fun to watch. I have seen engines lost for months in the weather, bolts replaced with over sized slotted screws, in short these things are treated like cow fodder.......... no worse than cow fodder. Well DUHHH!. I would like to see someone bolt on a YS or Saito on these spads and see what happens. They probably would not fair much better, but then no one will because they would not want to abuse their stuff like that....... go figure.
I have GMS's and never touch the needle settings, great power and low idle. OS they are not and they do take longer to break in.
There now I feel better!
