Has anyone tried this motor yet.
The specs look interesting.
OS50sxh - 1.6hp
OS 50 Hyper - 1.9 hp
Webra speed 55 GTH - 2.1 hp
I know that the ABN setup will take forever to break in, but I can deal with that.

OS50sxh - 1.6hp
I thought the OS50sxh pushed out 1.8hp. :dontknow
i think i might get one of these.
Still doubting a lot though between the Hyper and the Webra 55
Hyper is pretty much a proven product but very thirsty.
Haven't heard too much about the 55 yet.
Untill recently i had a webra 52AAR (glow plug wire fell into the engine) :arggg:
It flew pretty good with WC15% and a .60Zimmermann.
Just tuning wasn't easy.

Had a Webra 35, hated it. Hard to tune and keep tuned......

I had a Webra 50 back a few years ago. When new, tuning was irratic. Took about 10 gallons of fuel thru it till it seemed to start breaking in and running smoothly. Produce nice power.
I would think the OS 50 Hyper is the king of that size engines at this time. That engine seems very user friendly and produces great power right out of the box.

I'd go for user friendlyness.

Yes Webra does take some TLC to tune but when they are running there's more than enough power to use
I have a 52AAR and i will be getting the 55 soon I do hope Horizon does import here if not there is Cyberheli

I´m german. So my English is not so good!
I have the Webra 55 GTH! It is a very good engine. The engine is for 0 - 15 % Nitro not more.
