Default Rossi?

strong- Although not Rossi, I have flown the Byron F16 with Picco 80, and O.S. 61 and 91 engines. I would strongly suggest going with the O.S. 91 as its a sweet low maintenance setup that is more likely to give you less headache/heartaches from my experience. Not saying Rossi's or others wont work well, just that the O.S. is probably the best value for power, parts availability and consistent reliability. In my opinion the O.S. 91 is the engine of choice for the Byron fan...

Cheers

Make yourself an adapter and put a OS 91 carb on the Rossi. It'll work great.

Been there done that. Best running Rossi I ever had. solved the low end idle problem!

Make an adaptor that bolts to the engineand on the other end bolts to the carb.

I made a crude one with an electric drill, dremel, files and sandpaper. If you have access to a mill, it would be a piece 'o cake.

This is a very strong engine. It usually takes a while to break in and use the Rossi pipe on it. The MAC's pipes will melt. If you don't mind tinkering to get your initial settings, this engine will work. If you want to make life easier, find a good OS .91.
