Default Ram 750 & 1000 same engine ?????

Since Johnny and Scott seems to be aiming some arrows my way, I'll respond, but I'm not going to get dragged into this quagmire very far. I have better things to do.

My opinion concerning how I would run a RAM 1000 is based on experience. Looking back on it, I never personally blew up a RAM, but I flew 1000's in smallish planes, with the motors set to 120k. When I was trying to promote RAM as a rep, people would point that fact out to me. So I took my 1000's to the max, and promptly had trouble with them. I have seen FAR too many of them blow up in other peoples models to think that it is not a significant problem with the design. And I have seen both Artes and Wren wheels come apart. So I present my opinion on how to operate them not as a slam, but as just trying to help someone avoid a disaster with some advice gained from experience.

If you guys want to continue to take shots at me for trying to help, go right ahead.
