RE: Anyone flown with the new OS 200 pumped 4-stroke?
Boy I wish this engine would be good for Pattern but unfortunately I think it's aimed more toward the scale market. The OS 200 fuelie is pretty powerful but it's REALLY expensive. The carbureted versions aren't super-charged and just don't make the power that a YS does. They're probably OK for the lower classes but they're just not up to the task of pulling a widebody like a YS does. Sorry. I'm a loyal OS user so this is a bit of a disapointment for me. I had hoped to use the 200 in my Black Magic VF-3's next year but I think I'm just going to go with my trusty 160 Fx setup unless someone can give me some good numbers with an APC 18.1x10 on 15% nitro.
