Is anyone familiar with the Tiger Shark line of engines? Could they be a replacement for the Tower or OS Max FP line as in same manufacturer, new importer? I just came across this listing while checking some eBay items.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3142588480

There are several sizes available according to the seller's other items list.

Enquiring minds.........you know.

Hi there OS!

How are things going up there Spinard way??? My flying partner in
Huntsville, Curtis Comer is using a Tiger Shark .52 in his Jubilee
I think he was 4th in Advanced at the Nats this year and managed to get through the winds O.K. I'm sure that was due to the engine performance. Curtis likes the high RPM low pitch mode of flying since he is also a Motorcycle rider. His Tiger Shark just screams along with an 11.5 X4 or so prop on it.

I believe that Mike Ogren is a dealer for Tiger Shark now. You know, the seller of the" Plastic Fantastic" near-ARF's.

I have two 39BB( With Stuka venturi) left from near 20 or so. None has sent them back and they run pretty nice with a 11x4 or 5. Nice quality, cuz I hate junk, and would not sell any if I had problems with any.
I dont have any LA 46 but am told that the thrust is about equal, maybe minus 300rpm,. As usual, I refund to any unsatisfied buyer, but have not had any request to do so with these.
Tiger Shark is supposed to start production of a .32 on a small case. That is why I got Thunder Shark in the first place. Speedlimit combat engines for 50$. I still use the very excellent Thunder Tiger 25 Gp for the combat work. Please see classified section for other CL engines left. Thanks, MM

Tiger Shark (TS) engines aren't exactly new. I've seen them for sale for many years. Didn't actually try one, though.

the ATS web site shows a Tiger Shark in the middle picture with a tuned muffler kinda like Jett, Nelson, etc. offer. But it doesn't say what size the engine in picture is? If the muffler was for the .52 it could be a hot one!

The .52 comes with the tuned muffler.
