I have started using Irvine engines on my glow planes and have been very impressed with the reliability of these motors. They have started easy and ran strong from the first flight on. I am currently using a .53 and a 1.50 and have never had engines perform like these, out of the box. I have used Super Tiger, O.S., ASP, Moki, Saito, Magnum and YS. I have also been very impressed with the Zenoah line of gas engines. I also have a new FPE 4.2 that I just can't seem to get running right. Has anyone been running a FPE? Maybe you can help.

Thanks

Just fired up my 53 for the first time today. WOW. Very impressive. Had a small leak at the spacer in the muffler, No bigee. Dale

The .53 is one of my favorite engines. I've found that the APC 12.25 X 3.75 is the best aerobatic prop for this engine. Have fun with your new motor. Mine has several hours on it now and it was new in the summer.
