A .40 running at 30,000 rpm can gulp alot of air on it's own in just a few seconds. You couldn't get a self contained air system that supplies all the air to that engine airborne, the tank would have to be pretty big to supply not just the volume but consistant pressure. Nitrous systems, from what I hear are used in RC cars, but would seem to be too bulky for small planes.

Yer not for whole flight with compressed air, just a boost to take on the lipos users.

you mean neat nitro boost?

Would a compressed air tank attatched to the carb with tx mixed inflight mixture control give you any more power as on board air ram boost.?

Easier just to up the nitromethane content..

add more nitro and add more igniter, such as amyl nitrate, nitro burns slow, the amyl nitrate speeds it up
