<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried a OS Surpass 91 w/Pump in an 8-1/2 lb
plane (VMar Avenger - Not recommended for Pattern) to compete in Sportsman in
2001. The engine could not pull the 45 degree up line for the 1/2 reverse
cuban eight. I replaced it with the 91FX and had no problem using the stock
muffler, but again the weight was 8-1/2 lbs. More weight than that and you
will need more power.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I use the OS91FX in a pattern plane and over the
weekend Dennis Hunt from Zimpro had me do a test.. we ADDED lead to my 91
size viper and brought the dry weight up to 9.5 lbs and went and put a
flight on it to see about the vertical ... And it went without a problem..
I'm running a APC 4 blade prop and 25% S&W fuel... also have added a
perry pump to the set up last year runs great..</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am going to be putting together an
Exceleron 90. I have 2 different engine options. First is an
OS FX91, second is an OS FS91 Surpass w/pump. Both are NIB.
I have flow previous planes with a different 91FRX. I am good with
engines so I am not worried about any finicky engine issues with either
one. I have 2 two meter planes right now. This plane is one
that I want to be able to get home from work, grab it and go. The
2 meter planes take a little bit more preparation to get them going
quickly. I want the plane to fly well with a good power
curve. I know that the 91FX will want to be flown a little bit
faster, but how much I don't know. Also would the FS91 II Surpass
be enough to fly the plane well. I will most likely be flying the
intermediate pattern next year, so it doesn't have to be oh my God
outrageous performance. But I don't want tit to be a dog
either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If there is anybody with any time on this
plane that could shed some light on the situation it would be greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
