ORIGINAL: Fastsky

I have an SK 80 and could never get it to run very well so pulled it from the plane. I don't like Super Tigers based on my experience with them and won't buy one. No experience with or seen GMS engines. Tried a Tower 75 engine, love the performance and the sound with a Pitts muffler. Found it reliable and strong enough so mounted it on my Stuka with happy results. Now another one is on my new P47. Its the best engine in the 60/75 size range imho.

What didn't you like about the SK .80? Are you aware of the timing differences and how it was intended to pull really large props instead of screaming with smaller props? Just curious.

Yes, I have one, but haven't ran it as yet. <G>

I also have the .50 and two .90 SK engines. Also unran. Surgery on August 6th should get me back in the ball game.
