The HB's are very well thought of.

Take care of it.

Enjoy,

Jim

I got an old one too. I have it on a Super Sportster 60. Runs like a champ.

You have the model that I wish I had. Mine is not a PDP equipped engine, but it is still a great engine.

Myth has it that internally, they are very similar to the K&B .61. Irvine and HB both had deals with K&B back in the early seventies, IIRC - which happens less and less often. <G>

I once flew a friend's Senior Telemaster powered by an engine like yours. It was ridiculously over powered when flying without a payload or towing a glider. Not by today's 3D standards, mind you, but for conventional flying. I immediately fell in love with that engine.

I'm still looking for one in pristine condition that has the red PDP written in the lug mount, or a newer version if there is one.

we flew this thing on a cub and it had lots of power. not sure what i will put it on now .it has good compresion and in good shape. Ive only been flyin models for the last year and a half and just never seen one .thanks for the input and now i think it will be a keeper maybe a sportster would be a good home for it..
