Beercamel, I'd like to hear about the Evo .36, too, and also if anyone has had any experience with the OS 35 AX.

Theres quite a few informative threads here on SH about the Evo 36  ..... mostly for stunt.

Have no idea how it would perform as a combat engine tho.

I think Jim Welch fiddled around with an EVO .36 for combat planes. I never did hear from him how it went.

Get the RC version.  The CL version has a blocked booster port.

I have an Evo .36 mounted on a WW.II combat plane designed for combat at Brodak`s . Because of the extreme slow speeds used at that event slowing it down to 70 mph was my biggest challenge . 5% all syn. on a bladder swinging an APC 11 x 4 prop was what I ended up running .

The amazing thing about this set up was that it held a needle . An O.S. remote needle threaded into the smallest intake was used . This works for stunt also . Big props can be tough for holding a setting on a bladder but the EVO worked OK .

If you were to lean on this engine with small props and high nitro the crank may prove a bit fragile . My engine is a cl model .
