engine help for P40-E warhawk
I just got this p-40e warhawk from nitro and it says to use a saito 1.50 with a 16x8 prop. i have a supertiger was told it is a 2500 but not sure. the markings say " 2000 "
S
if anyone can help on what this engine is and if it will work it would be very much appreciated.
thanks : Don , aka (Maverick)

Depends on the age of that Tigre. Before INDY RC sold out and became a part of Horizon, they did market a bunch of ST 2500 with the 2000 stamped on the case. I think ST was just using up old 2000 cases in a bored-out engine. That happened right after the time GP took over the importation of ST and OS from World Engines.
Indy alluded to that point.
I still have one NIB. The 2500 was a good performer in those days. The 3000 was a bit of a pain as the same carb was on all the engines 2000, 2500, and 3000. Not a good plan. Relates to how GP now markets the ST, all with one carb, 40-75, with a thinned spray-bar for the 60-75. Not a good plan.
The 2500 should fly the model OK, however it will be a non-racer! Know whut ah mean, pard! No ZOOM take-offs. [X(]

It's typically considered "rude" to keep posting the same question to multiple threads. It is frowned upon on almost any forum.
Since you are new to forums you may first want to familiarize yourself with what normal acceptable behaviour is, instead of committing ettiquette faux-pas.
Your question has been repeatedly answered on the other threads, so cross posting serves you no purpose other than potentially hiding a good response from you.
So far I see no one bad-mouthing, with the possible exception of your own post.
