Han Ping has been campaigning a ST60 for years, but I have studied this picture over and over again, and this looks like a 4 stroke. I cannot post the original pic here because of the ^&%*$ 50k limit. Even the the prop nut has a locknut just like most 4 strokes. I think our Mr. Han Ping is "4 bangin it". If somebody can clear this up for me, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Yep, the Golden Knight version. I think that is what it's called, black case/gold valve cover.

Han Xinping used the Golden Knight version of the Saito 56 with a 2 blade wood prop made in China. He communicated in sign language that the prop was a 13" x 6". Looking at the prop blades from side on it appeared that the tips were washed out (similar to the Beringer props) but I don't know by how much. It was interesting that his technique for engine starting was the same as the Beringer's - inject prime with a small syringe into the venturi, rock the prop back & forth a few times by turning the spinner, flick forward 6 or 7 times, then hit backwards for an instant start.

I thought Wei was a better pilot than the 2 odler members of Chinese team. I guess the new generation of Chinese pilots are just as good if not better than the generation that preceeded it. We'll have our hands full next time around!
