I haven't heard from Horrace either.

I wonder why the AMA decided to disallow 1/2A wet powered models in the PPP. They can easily be built to perform in the same envelope as do the sparkys. I wonder if the influence from the 2 major importers had anything to do with that decision., since neither Horizon nor Hobbico offers many models for that power. The better .049 and .051 engines have very effective mufflers, so I don't think that noise would have been a great factor. Kind of makes you wonder though does it not?

I assume it was noise, but I haven't heard an .049 running since I was 13 or so. Long time ago.
