I need a couple of OS 20 FP engines for a twin project.
Would like new, but very low time will be considered.

You might contact Bob Boumstein. He e-mails a monthly listing with hundreds of motors, like more than 1,300.

He normally has some FP 20's listed. I have been pleased with his service.

And another option is to use the Thunder Tiger 25GP. These are clones of the 25FP, are better made, ewual in weight, inexpensive, and can be set up with whatever size venturi you feel you need for the props you will be using.

Oh, and parts are less expensive, too.

>But he wants 20s, Len. Currell

The engine is the same physical size as a 20, so unless he is needing to stay under .40 combined for some reason (line size?) going to 25s makes sense. If he is still worried about too much power, use smaller venturis. You can easily make a 25 into the power of a 20. It is a bit more difficult to do it the other way around.

Reference my post above with the e-mail address for Bob Boumstein.

Assuming that Tom Martin is still looking for OS 20 FP's, Boumstein's November listing has three of these listed. They are RC versions and have mufflers.

Keith,
Thank you for the info. on Bob Boumstein. I'll contact him.

Leonard,
I agree about the TT 25s. The reason for using 20s is to use .015 lines. Thank you.
