YW 48 twin
 

I just received from one of my club members this engine, a yw-48-213 for the idea of putting in my hangar -9 c-182. I am little concerned if this even a good engine due to what I read. Is any one ruinning this engine and have any specs on it. Also what would this engine be worth . It;s got only about 1 hour on it.

Thanks

Hi Bob,
I have had two of the YW 48 engines both ran fine,very smooth. I sold one and loaned one out.I do not think they had the power of the VV 40.

I also have a couple of these......not the strongest horse in the barn, but they sure are smooooth! .......I don't know of any parts/source, that's the only negative.......

Smooth engine for sure. Know a guy that has one. He had to replace the reeds with Boysens because they frayed. Not a lot of run time on the engine. 21x8 or 10 was the prop. Can't remember which.

BCCHI, did you see on the news the record snow depth near Rapid City? Its going to take a bit of time to melt it would seem !

Yes I seen that ,We have no snow.Hope to fly this week end.Got to fly last Sat and
Sun.

We did have about 30 inches in the woods. It is just now starting to melt away some. We also had some record low temps. I plan to fly more this summer. Last year it was hard to get anyone even interested in flying. I have not figured out why yet?
