HB engines?
« on: January 25, 2016, 02:30:27 PM »
I have a chance to pick this up cheap. Is it suitable for .15 carrier? What type of performance?

I would suggest putting a 7x4 on it and doing a tach run.  If it will do 24,000 and hold an idle you have a chance.

I believe it's a baffle piston sport engine. A modern Magnum 15 would run circles around it, IMO.

Here's Peter Chinn's review of the engine from the Sceptreflight web site:
