Default RV4 60 engine...

Just wondering if anyone has tried an OS 75AX on this plane or would the prop clearance be inadequate?? Would this engine be overkill and a waste of $$??

I run a YS 1.10S and there is no prop clearance issues, and that takes a heck of alot bigger prop than the .75AX. It will in no way be overkill. I am spinning a 15-8 at 10,200, that is overkill.

Fast,
Actually I would not put anything smaller than a .91 two stroke in it. It will get real boring fast otherwise.

I was thinking about that. The plane is listed as a 60-75 size but then they list prop sizes that are larger than what one would expect to see on a 60 size 2 stroke. I think they are fudging the facts a bit to sell the plane as a 60 size. [&o]
