TennWalker 41,i have two gals. through my 52 it has never tried to dead stick on me.it is the smoooothest gas engine i ever had,strong midrange,great power i get low 7000 on a xora 22-8
it's a farely wide prop and so fare i like it the best.pulls the snot out of a 15-1/2 lb. plane.
the only thing i would suggest is to put a Bosch spark plug cap on it. i have two da50's and a mvvs 45 and they can not compare with the Taurus 52,one great engine and my next gasser will be a 52.there are guy's reporting 7500-7700 on some 22-8 props.
ENJOY!
