As a brand new RC flyer, your post on .46 engines ( Ed Moore ) raises a question. How do Different Propellers affect the Power and perfomance of a .46 Engine. My Club just had a 100 lap pylon race on Saturday, and some of the flyers were experimenting with differnt sized props.

Good for you. That saves a lot of repetative threads on the same subject.
I've been flying 9yrs this season. Not long by some standards, but I've seen more than my share of engines.
I've just recently purchased a Magnum XLS .46 and couldn't be happier with it. It's almost a direct clone of the OS 46FX. Ran great right outta the box. I ran a couple tanks through it on the ground using my own special break-in procedure. Then I went and ran the snot out of it on a pylon racer with a 10-8 pro and 5% Omega fuel. Runs like a champ. Still breaking in, but pulling like a freight train and as smooth as any OS on the transition and ease of carb adjustments.
$59 You betcha. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
