Eddie,
I gave the wrong impression....I should have said that at 2900W, the output is about similar to the properly set-up 140/145 2 stroke output. The YS 140 sport is relatively anemic in comparison. The YS 160 is right there.
I still have a small supply of the K-Kord teflon covered kevlar but I haven't found it yet. Still unpacking.... a year and half later. I am going trough some boxes in the garage this weekend so if I find the stock, I'll let you know.
Do you know if the model is still available? I just can't seem to find time to get going on my new design so something for the interim could be good

Eddie, with the more aft CG the knife edge should have cleaned up....also the pull to canopy on verticals should have cleaned up as well.
I think so too. I haven't had a flight without stronger winds than I care to fly in so I'll need more trim flights to tell for sure. But a new plane talked me into flying anyway - And it handled it wonderfully.
Is this the Evo that's 400 bucks??
Yep !! I choked on the price for awhile but after watching Nat's Plett25-13 for 2 years I just couldn't go any other direction
And I don't regret it.
At 2900 watts you are pretty much same as fuel powered set-up in output...
I do know this -it is stronger than my YS140Sport by a lot. I haven't flown anything IC larger than that -so that's all I'm gonna say. I didn't put the wattmeter on it with the 21x13W and I should've as it was way stronger. -More than I'll ever need so why strain batteries and heat up the motor if I don't need to.
BTW Matt - do you still sell the coated kevlar pull-pull cord. If so I'd like to get some more.
Good to type with you.
Eddie
