Default Zen-50 Rossi-60 "Augered"

Well, I decided to throw my Augered Rossi-60 on a full pipe in my Zen-50 [X(]

Starting with a 12x7

I'd go with an 11-7 if it was yours too....(or mine).

Chuck....did you tune that pipe to that engine ? [8D]

The Zen 50 was one of the planes I was looking at, for my Jett 50. How's she look, James?
Is this new, or just been "Augerized"? That's gonna scream!

No, all I did was a little mild porting and take the bearings out of it.

I had an 11x7 in there... Was not sure where to start now I know!

I had a YS-63FZ in the Zen (12x7 APC 11.5K) and had about 35 flights, awesome combo! I flew it at El Mirage awhile back.... World Models ARF's are EXCELLENT quality--- Mech. retracts have worked flawlessly (even under less than stellar landings [X(])

I am sure the Jett-50 would pull it nicely but you need powerful and smooth uplines on a Pattern ship- a 10x7 or whatever on a Jett is a waste of the engines potential... The YS could not have been a more perfect match (OS-70 and Saito-72 seem like a good match also-?) but I am selling it for some $$ [8D]

That Rossi is just awesome! Ticks over like a clock...

Chers everyone!

Gary,

photos of a Jett 50 FIRE in a Zen

Owner is thrilled with it. Says its too fast. Prop he shows on here is too small..... I think its only a 10x6. He needs to run an 12x4 or 12x5 and lengthen the pipe a bit.
