Default RE: What engine is this?


ORIGINAL: the Wasp

you see the round hole on the side of the case in the back, I have no idea what engine it is
Those cases that were round on the back (with hole) were special, made for RC cases. Most of these engines had a spring starter in that rear housing. These were very long lived engines, had good power and are well mannered. Only thing I can say bad about them is that they shake a bit but not excessive by any means. These seem quite happy on 24-10 props. My guess is that engine is a 75 as there seemed to be far more 75s out there than 65s. These make great warbird engines.
