Comments on other sites would seem to verify 35 hp for the TA. This is interesting as given a fixed displacement there are only two ways to alter max hp, rpm and cylinder pressure. The 447 and Ta440 have the equal displacement and are capable of the same rpm so it has to be a lower mean cylinder pressure causing the reduced hp. I have always preferred 2 strokes over 4 and enjoy working on them. Years ago I worked at a very progressive dealership where I did all the 2 stroke high performance work ( cylinder porting, piston mods, chambers and such) great fun. Should be fun to fiddle with the TA and see what I can come up with. In the mean time maybe something better will come along for the Firefly.

Due to the huge size of the pictures in this thread, the thread is incredibly annoying to try to read online, if you are reading it in an email, your results may vary. Here is Matt's link to the Kolb list rules: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html Here are some of Matt's rules from that link relative to pictures posted : 2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000 pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less. Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically scale it down and resave it.

There may well be list participants for whom the $20-$50/month fee for broadband would be the difference between having a flying hobby & not having one.

Herb I spend a good part of the summer in an area where there's no broadband of any kind. Even so, those really large pictures are a pain... so big you have to scroll back and forth and sometimes the text wraps to the width of the picture so even reading the text is a chore. -Dana -- Q.
