I have not yet flown in a ssc contest but was looking at starting so in looking for equipment I found the AP engine .15 yellow jacket.
Does anyone have experience with this engine and if so how does this engine rate compared to OS LA 15 and Thunder Tiger GP15
Oops I didn't mean to do that.
AP engines anyone use them

I believe Lou tested one in the early days of ssc and it wasn,t very good.
If memory serves me correctly it was a couple thousand rpms down due to exhaust restrictions
Best advice is to put it on a stand with a 8-3 prop ( after break in ) and see if you can get to 17500 rpms
If so slap it on a plane.
I have never seen one in compatition.
