All,

I got the following e-mail from Neal reguarding updates to the Avro kit and some optional parts that are in the works:

We are now putting the 8.2:1 ratio and the 8.04:1 ratio in the kit as standard. This will now mean that the kits will be supplied with a new Engine mount, 1x43T pulley/ 1x42T pulley and 2 x Shims. If you use the 8.2:1 ratio, the engine bolts directly to the engine mount, if you use the 8.04:1 ratio you would insert shims between the engine lugs and the engine mount. The reason for this is, that the 43T pulley changes the running centres between the pulleys.

We have a conversion kit for those customers who have the previous kit, comprising of, 1x engine mount, 1x 43T pulley and 2 x shims.

We are also producing optional white undercarriage struts and these will be with us shortly.

Okay super!

Maybe sily question but could you explain a little bit the advantages of it and why I should change it? I have on both the YS91SR engine.

For the YS91SR the 8.04 ratio from a numbers standpoint seems to be the best ratio for those motors. Mine is running the 8:04 ratio and even at this altitude here in Colorado (5280 feet) it is hard to bog and runs great at 1900 on the head.

For the OS91 motors the numbers seem to suggest that they would run better on the 8.2 ratio. I have not tested this yet but from what I have heard the OS likes this ratio better, and runs better at that ratio.

We have two Avro's here one with the OS and one with the YS. As we get more time on the one with the OS I can comment more...

Thanks!!
