| YS 80 in Nova, awesome!Hey Stewart and all,
I'm currently running a YS 80 in my carbon Nova with a 8.89 gear ratio and it's awesome! I just took .035 in. off the face of the engine mounts with a verticle mill., used a 23 tooth clutch bell, which gave me perfect belt tension. I'm running a head speed of 1750 with no govenor and I'm getting very little overspeed in 3D maneuvers. I'm using a large volume Hatori bolt on SB-17 rear muffler which requires no throtttle servo repositioning, CP30% with OS 8 plug. The torque as you know is incredible, making for some awesome 3D. I'm very happy with the engine smoothness and consistency, what's up with this YS 80 carb. mod? I've heard it smoothens the midrange for FAI hovering, but I see no need with my set-up. This engine and Heli has brought a new level to my 3D flying! Have you seen Mark J. lately? |
