Default RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?


ORIGINAL: flywilly

BRUSHFIRE. Stuart summarized all the reasons very nicely. The INtruder with the ST 90 will be a rocket in comparison. The ST 90 weighs about the same as pattern 2 stroke 60s of the era when it was designed so weight is not an issue. It responds nicely to a tuned pipe of you want to go that way, but will have plenty of power (more than we had back in the days when the Brushfire was kitted - I think Steve flew his with an Enya 60X).
The Intruder flies well, too, but was designed almost 10 years before the Brushfire.
My 2 cents.

I bought an Ultrathrust muffler that PSP is selling just for the G90. To heck with wrestling with the pipe during set up. I haven't ran the muffler yet, but if it provides any boost at all over the stock set up, which it should, I'll be happy.

I fly off grass runways a lot. That is why I prefer pneumatic retracts. I like the isolation provided from the receiver's battery pack in case a strut gets bent and fails to retract completely.
