Hi everyone,

I built a battle axe a year or so ago, and flew it quite a bit. I'm at high altitude, so with the OS .15la, i was pretty much full throttle constantly, just trying to keep it going forward. I think the poor old thing is beat. The compression is just about gone.

I'm looking at engine choices, and the os .25 la is the same same mounting dimensions. I dont know if it will keep me out of ssc classes, but i only fly it for fun anyway. Would something like that be good power for my ssc battle axe airframe? It looks like the .25 might be more weight than power. Or do i need to find something else? thanks guys.

Alex, thanks for making such a good plane.
