Looking for a Nelson .91R engine
#27

My Feedback: (66)

here is my Vendetta on 60% nitro and a 14x14 prop. this one only did 184.5 average here. Sorry about the blurry video. I had someone use my phones camera and I forgot to change the zoom to infinity. You can still see how fast it is on a low pitch prop. I later went with a 12x16 carbon prop and 40% nitro and did 196.2 on a two way average. the 12x16 wasnt enough prop. In fresno at the warbird championship race Richard and Marty both broke 200 mph. I burned up my engine with the 70% nitro lol richard was running a 13.5x13.5 prop repitched to 17 inches.

MJD I have one of his planes half way done also I and i think it would do 190 pretty easy with a YS 115 in it. I have so many projects that I have started many and havent finished any of them lol The BVM/nelson was like the other DF engines and around 5-6hp in the 22-25,000 rpm range. The BVM 96 is the good one although rossi made a 105DF engine but not sure how strong it is. You can have any of these DF engines making the same power as the OPS engines so dont go way out of your way to find one lol.
Any idea whose electric retracts fit the Macchi well? I haven't checked yet, just curious if you know off the top of your head.

I have a .91 VR-DF and the OPS .80, but on this I decided to use the OPS. I'm told it is happy to run 22-23k all day and not eat parts in the process. Plus, the engine and the model speak the same language.

Kind of, you are thinking of the Carson City field, 30 miles south of Reno. Nice field, I have flown there. The Reno field is nice too, bring a plane and your AMA card and we will make noise. I have plenty of fuel and field stuff.
