RCS made a killer 215 radial that had a whole bunch of power and was easy to run. Not cheap but it was worth every penny in value. I'm thinking the 150 is a down size from that. You won't get hurt in the deal by any means.

We had a 215 set up on a test stand for awhile and would run it periodically just to listen to the beauty of it. Music!!! Eventually we had to put it in a plane. That took away from the shop sounds but it sure pulled a 33% Waco like there was no tomorrow. Talk about torque!!!

what has me curious is that they are only rated at 8.5 hosepower. just wandering if the prop size claims are legit. they say 26-16@5400, thats a ton of pitch. i want to swing a big 4-blade. anyone running one with a 4-blade? jeff
