3W ENGINES HELP!!!!!
BEING FROM THE OLD SCHOOL"QUARDA ,ZENOAH ECT" I'M LEFT WONDERING IF THESE NEW ENGINES ARE UP TO WHAT THEY SAY!
I WENT TO THE W.R.A.M.S. SHOW IN WHITE PLAINS NY YESTERDAY IN SEARCH OF A NEW TECH ENGINE. I WOUND UP AT THE AIRCRAFT INTERNATIONAL BOOTH. AFTER MUCH FONDLING OF THERE NEW ENGINES I BOUGHT A 3W-50i FROM THEM . THEY CLAIM THIS ENGINE MAKES MORE POWER THAN A G-62 . HECK IT CLAIMS TO SWING A 24X10 PROP! I'M PUTTING IT IN A YELLOW AIRCRAFT SPITFIRE AFTER ALOT OF FOLKS RESPONDED TO MY ADD ABOUT A G-38 IN THE SPIT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE 3W ENGINES? KICK ASS POWER? I SEE ALOT OF THEM FOR SALE ON THE NET LEAVING ME TO WONDER IF THEY'RE ANY GOOD IT LOOKS LIKE A WELL THOUGHT OUT ENGINE EVEN THOUGH THE REAR CARB LOOKS LIKE A PAIN TO DEAL WITH . ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. LIKE I SAID , I'M USED TO USING THE OLD STAND-BYS . TIME FOR A CHANGE. THANKS , RON
