The Super Tiger 51 engine is ringed and is more or a torquer engine.

The Thunder Tiger 46 likes to run faster than the 51 and is ABC (Actually ABN)

They are both good engines.

Get the best deal.

Enjoy,

Jim

I'd go with the Tiger....it's ringed and will last for about 10 years, easy.

FBD.

I have a super tiger 51ring engine. I think it would be a good match for that aircraft. They are a excellent running engine. It starts easy and has a very good idle and throttle transition. The only problem I had with the engine was the exhaust gasket would keep blowing out. Someone on the Web suggested just using high-temperature RTV for the gasket. Which I did in did not have any other problems.

Just run your Super Tiger without the exhaust gasket.

Enjoy,

The G51 is an excellent engine.



Throw the gasket in the bin.... you don't need it.... you will keep having troubles with the exhaust until you throw away the gasket...
