How is the pull out from hover vs a 24/9? Last question I promise.
Equal at least

I'm not having good luck with the piston retainer clip on my two GP61's. Just had my SECOND engine crap itself in flight. Both times I had the exact same part failing in flight... Both times in the same way: fouling the cylinder, piston, and ring.

Waiting to hear back from Kole as I bought it from him. He took care of it last time, as It's under warranty of course, and surely he'll warranty this engine too... but I'm still frustrated with my luck.

First time I've seen the inside of a GP 61.....the cir clip design isn't good for that displacement size. Needs the con rod, piston and cir clip redesigned IMO
