RE: RC engine horse power ratings
I think Ed hit several of us between the eyes. I knew of the H.P. ratings, but how better to explain them too.
I know that just because you got a certain year model engine in thought, does not mean it will put out same in any of the follow-up years, for the Mfg'rs tend to get used to making it then sloppy.
I go to the AMA show in Ontario each January. A few of the Mfg'rs there say they are going to let loose with a new version of ____ the coming spring, and alter the whole line to match that. I see the very same dusty glow engines each year, and hear the same promise too.
Oops, time for a whole new model to come out again.
