RE: Hawk sport engine??
Hi,
While many might say it is hyped and over-marketed, the O.S. 32SXH has been a work horse on my hawk. It has stood up to settings so lean there might as well have not been oil at all, and still running strong.
It is a very tough, easy to tune powerplant that just plain works damn well.

I bought a LEO 37 new for $40.00 at the Perry show two years ago.
ran beautiful from the first start, lots of power and smooth.
It is now in a friend's raptor and still running smooth and strong.
BTW, the LEO is a copy of the OS engine, and if I remember correctly, parts are interchangeable.

I have the OS32SHX in both my heli's,,, as stated b4 great engine, may cost a bit more, but I believe worth every penny. Better buying 1 OS, instaed of having to buy a new engine every 2 years. I have heard of minor problems with the TT, but maybe they have fixed that buy now.

Yep, I primed/sanded at least 3 times, so I hope this is it. I'm going with the retracts. Thanks for the heads up on the scale muffler, because that's what's on there. Putting a hole in the side might be a good idea. I haven't thought of that yet. I do have a "gas filler" hole in the side so far. I did fit everything, including lights, but haven't tested/run the engine, with the body on yet.
