Hi Randy,
I have a Master Engine made in Italy. It has the number 4 on it side, do you know anything about these engines? Its a nice looking engine, just not sure it would be any good for stunt. It looks like it could be close to a 19?

Nice gold head, ball bearing, seems lite??? Don't remember ever running her. It also has a nice muffler with the engine. Not sure what size prop to play with??? If you know anything about her I would appreciate any info, Gary

As near as I remember the Master series was made by Chippola? Meaning Onion in Italian. Have no direct knowledge of the performance of that engine but do have an 09 diesel and a 15 and they run well. As to stunt, most that I know of were timed for high RPM. I'm sure that there are others that can supply better info then I.

As usual, Dennis is right...but it is "Cipolla"...but it is pronounced "Chip-olah". Try a 9-4 prop and a .257" venturi. There are some good 9-4's and some that are good paint stix, of course. Adjust from there...it probably won't like a bigger prop. The '4' should stand for cc's, and a 4cc is a .25cid.
