supertiger 4500 for GP PITTS ARF?
IS THIS A GOOD ENGINE FOR THE 1/3 PITTS AND WILL IT DRINK MUCH MORE FUEL THAN THE ST3000? I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SAYS A MOKI 180 WOULD BE BETTER, WHAT DO YOU GUYS SAY?

Pitts and St4500
If you don't go overboard with the weight, the 4500 will do a pretty fair job of pulling the pitts, Use a perry vp30 fuel pump, a bisson pitts muffler, and run fai fuel w/10% oil or 5%nitr w/10% oil, a bolly 20X10 @7000+ Rpm and it should do good fuel consumtion will depend on throttle managment. I am useing this combo on A lainier 80" Cap and power is pretty good, w Fai fuel, as I also have ignition, stock carb work's well if you adjust according to the manual.

80" CAP ST 4500
It does Hover and pull out pretty fair, I'm not really happy with this prop, the plane is to fast, so I'll try more prop's, w/lower pitch bigger Dia. If you think unlimited vertical is take off point the nose up till it disappears, It will do this very well, I have been laid up for the last 3 month's, so when I get back to flying, I can tell you more.
from playing with the 4500's, I think I can get more out them, w/ a little port work and a larger Carb, I have 3-4500's so I can do some mod's, also run My own wraparound pitts style muffler, which is very quiet, and no power loss
