RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*
Pete/John,
Up until the airplanes because really large, the OS 1.40RX was a great engine. As the planes got larger, it simply wasn't enough. I truly love my DZ's..however, i hated running the older YS stuff. My brother owned them, and thankfully he had Mike McCormick to keep his going in NC. The OS 1.60 is a great engine...it does not have the power of the DZ's....or more importantly the torque. It still has the 2-stroke power curve and it will work, however, the DZ with a V3, or electric with a V3 definitely work better because of the torqure curves of the engines, let you fly at a much smoother pace.
Pete you also tried to get me to switch to the pizza box transmitter....that one didnt work out so well...I think I'll keep my 14MZ...
