Default RE: Just picked up a GP Big Stik 60! Engine Recommendations?


Ihad a Big Stik 60. Ipowered it witha Thunder Tiger 91 4 stroke. I had a 15X6 prop on it. Ihad to mount 5 1/2"tires to swing the
15 in prop. It flew very well with the Thunder Tiger on it until the exhaust pipe broke. Itook the TTengine off and mounted YS91-FZ.
To keep the engine under control Iput a15X8 propon the YS.It would take off at half throttle and cruise around a couple clicks above
idle. Sadly, it met an unfortunate end this past January.

Ihave a Pulse XT60 thathas a OS91 AXmounted in it. The OSengine run perfectly untilIfed it some bad fuel and stalled. Itried to
doa dead stick landing. Ioverflew the runway and ran into a very large green tractor with a grater behind it. Sadly the rightwing broke in
half and the fuse broke behind theradio tray. The fuse has been repaired and the right wing is being repaired.

Ihave a test stand that Imount my engines in to get them into tune prior to mounting them into planes. It help the engine issues while at the flying feild.
