My OS35Max didn't have enough go ...
The plane flew, but it was very 'marginal' on power ...
So last night I put one of my SC46's in ... gonna give it a go later ... the SC46 is an ABC engine and must produce twice the power?!?!? .... should make the wings clap!!

Re: My OS35Max didn't have enough go ...
Is it on the OS 35FP? Good motor, the 40 is better and not much heavier.
Put a fairly big prop on it with fine pitch.

I think they're talking remote control planes.

The Max was 2nd hand when I bought it about 20 years ago!! ... so its prolly 30-40yrs old  I got a 15FP ... the 40FP is a perfect little engine for trainers, reliable, good power curve and fairly light ... but if you are into aerobatics (not pattern ship type, 'fun' type) ... you need a screaming ABC engine ... Didn't get to fly it today   I might rip the 46 out and drop my ASP 90 in it tonight ... just to make sure it has enough grunt!!  Dunno why I have had a sudden re-interest in my RC planes
