I have found myself an old school pattern kit (Lotus 5 designed by Peter Goldsmith) that I am hoping to purchase soon [8D]
The kit is designed for an RE 2 stroke, but due to the difficulty in obtaining one I am considering fitting a YS 110.
I assume that the YS will give better performance, but would like the opinion of some of you guys that may have first hand experience.
Thanks,
Mark.
The ys110 would have far more pwer than any of the old 61 re. but as stated above balance is an issue replacing a 2stoke with a 4 strock in the older aiplanes. Many of the SPA guys and others are streatching the planes to compensate for the extra nose weight. Jet might have what you need they are producing some of the strongest engines on the market at this time and part availability shouldn't be a problem.
