YS 63S
 

The YS 63S turns out to be a real gem. It is 0.8 oz lighter than the YS 63FZ and 0.6 oz lighter than the Saito 72.

After half a gallon of Powermaster YS 20/20 fuel through it, my YS 63S currently peaks out at 11.9K rpm swinging a Graupner 12x7 prop, so I set my ground rpm at 11.5K (400 rpm on the rich side):

The engine (mounted inverted) can now hold a steady, reliable idle between 1700 and 1900 rpm without onboard glow or glow igniter, as can be seen in this video:

No deadsticks so far (never had a deadstick with a YS). It's all about tuning, folks.

Richard,
Nice engine! So is this the newest engine edition form YS ? Appreciate the Tach/Prop info on the engine.
Happy flying,
Dennis
