Fr5-300
Hi Folks,
I have a flair 1/4 scale stearman and I am seriously considering purchasing a FR5-300 radial.
However, before spending $1400 I want as many details concerning this engine as possible. Here are some questions?
1. Does OS have any videos about this engine. I would like to hear the sound of this engine.
2. Are there any reviews concerning this engines.
3. Can you purchase the exhaust ring? I could not find it on the OS site. Are there any pictures of the engine with the exhaust ring attached?
4. Is this a good running engine?
5. Is it a user friendly engine?
6. What size tank and what is the fuel consumption?
If anyone can provide additional info it would be greatly appreciated.
Scott

We can't answer all of your questions, because some of them are outside of the Customer Support area...
1) Sorry, no videos
2) See the above post
3) Exhaust rings:
OSMG2725 47069000 EXH RING OUT FR5 $239.99
OSMG2726 47069010 EXH RING IN FR5 $239.99
"OUT" mounts in front of the engine, "IN" mounts behind the engine. The collector ring can be ordered through the same retailer where you order the engine.
4), 5) We believe the engine runs very well and is very user-friendly if properly broken-in and run.
6) We'd suggest at least a 24 oz fuel tank. This engine has a 50cc displacement, so it will be a bit thirsty. We don't have a specific fuel consumption, but that size tank at full throttle will go about 12-15 minutes.
