Default HP VT .21 four stroke experience?

what is your experience with this engine? I'm thinking about a pair for a twinstar.

Does this engine have good power? what are your tach reading for a given prop?

also, how does it do with fuel consumption? (important on a twinstar)

is the bearing head option worth the extra cost?

Dennis has it pretty much right on the money. I had a .10 powered Cub that I thought would be neat with this little 4 stroke.. The engine need sto be carefully broken in. The power is somewhere close to an OS FP .10.

I kinda like the engine - You just have to find the right plane (glider) to put it in!
