As ive said before in other posts.....the OS looks nice....but the Super Tiger is an amazing engine.....lots of power....great price. I almost want to say the super tiger feels as if it has more power than the OS> Might not be the case as per the Specs(not sure)....but just going by how one of the planes flew after having both the OS and ST in it. I was skeptical at first being that my first engine was the OS. But I am VERY happy with the ST and am glad I saved myself the $50 bucks. Only thing...I ran 3-4 tanks fo fuel when first started the ST to break in on the ground a little. Oh...and be carefull with the muffler....gets hot as F&^%! Figured that one out on my own-
What will you be putting it in?
I picked up an old (~1981) NIB kit for a Northeast Bel Air 40 biplane at a club swap for $50. I was originally budgetting as a winter project to build a GP Ultimate 40 with an OS 46AX. I have already saved about $60 on the kit part of my budget. If I save another $50 on the engine part of my budget, I'll be well on my way towards glow plane #4. (If my wife buys into this excellent line of reasoning)
The Super Tigre is currently out of stock at Tower, but I'm going to my LHS this afternoon to see if they have one.
Thanks
