Hi Frank, I'm using an old 2704 which was available in 1999 when I bought mine. The 2704 was replaced by the 3202. Both engines get the rated hp at relatively low rpm's. the 2704 is 50 hp at 5300 and the 3202 is 55 at 5500. Dick

Thanks for the info on the oil. I had already bought a qt of the Castrol and mixed some of it 50/50 with my "Bluemax" to see if it would mix ok. It's been 7 months now and since I made my sample mix and it looks just fine. I was thinking of using it 50/50 but I might just go 100% when I switch.

Nev, I'll be ok as I also have plans to live to be a 100 years old and I'm only 74 now.

I thought you might hang out here Bruce. How about Arthur ? I've been meaning to ask you what kind of 2 stroke oil are you using? I'm thinking of switching to a synthetic.

I stumbled on to this site looking for Taylor Monoplane info. Looks like a good place to spend some time. I'm currently flying a Hirth powered Mini-max that I built 24 years ago. I have a 1942 Luscombe 8D that needs to be restored but I keep getting the hots to build another wood homebuilt and not sure I'll live long enough to do both. I also like to putter with models.
