Default Which .46 engine to run inverted?

I need to pick a .46 for a small pattern/freestlye aircraft. The engine will be mounted inverted so I want a reliable engine that will run upside down. O.S , TT ?? Which?

I've had a TT Pro .46 inverted in my WM Mustang for years. No Problem! Had one side mounted in a Super Decathalon with no troubles either.

Why pay more for less?

Pick a brand, any brand. If it runs OK upright then it'll run OK inverted.

sometimes an inverted engine can cause problems if the fuel tank is too high in relation to the carb. you can solve these problems with a regulator like that made by cline or treat yourself to a ys45

Any modern engine will run fine inverted as long as you install the tank in the proper location as well as take a little extra time to be sure you set the idle needle properly.

Hi
A certain engineer working in OS moved to the TT company, and that a TT engine was developed, and I listened.
Therefore, a TT engine looks like OS, and has both high performance.
It is OS if a brand is taken.
It is probably TT if a cost is taken.
