Calypso...set-up

The following is my opinion...I had a Calypso in the mid-90's with an O.S. .91 4 cycle. I was hoping to replicate the fantastic experience I had with the EZ (Ok Models) Supra Fly 45 which was designed for a .60 2 cycle/.91 4 cycle. It did not.

Hanno used the Super Tigre S .61 with a simple header/pipe. The weight of the .61 allows the radio equipment to be installed in the wing compartment vs the tail (which I did for my .91 Calypso).

The prop diameter of a 4 cycle is larger than a 2-cycle which makes the throttle transition more challenging in a non-specifically designed 4-stroke model.
