RE: OS 200 for Pattern?
Yeah that's the fuel-injected version. Jason Shulman had one of the early ones when I saw him at the Apopka contest in 2006 but he was still sorting out some minor problems with it. The fact that he's running YS (still) and electric now tells me that he never got it working to his satisfaction. I didn't want to bother him at the NATs this year because he seemed kinda busy. LOL
I'm more interested in the carbureted versions. There is a new one with a pump. I'm trying to find out if the pumped version has bigger valves and a larger carb. so that it might make a little more power. Somebody moved my post from the OS support forum to here. That's OK, I just hope someone can answer my question. I really want to try this engine but I don't want to run a lame experiment on my new airplanes. If someone has prop vs. RPM figures with the OS 200 FS-P that would be very helpful.
I came across a review and the test motor only spun a Top-Flite 18x10 @ 6890 RPM. Not enough. My 160 Fx will spin an APC 18.1 x 10 @ 8200 RPM.
