I was wondering how smooth the motor is and if you had any problems with it. Do you like it, etc.?

ask anyone

Well if you ask anyone who has one they will tell you the same thing.
bad points:
Long break in.. 25 to 30 tanks before tail settles down.
rough transition in the 1/4 to half area
doesn't like high nirto or high oil content
carb can be a pain to tune.low needle speed controls hover mixture.

good points:
Very smooth once broken in
major power house
reliable
cheaper than an OS
cheaper fuel bill.
I've got a Vario Sky Dragon on the way with a webra 50 engine set.If it performs like the Rossi I'll go the OS route.
If you don't like to spend time messing with tunning go with the OS.

Please...

stick with an OS or YS. I went the Rossi route and had nothing but problems. It doesn't fit well in some helis due to the slightly larger case, and the exhaust system is a pain to mount. Go with a YS or OS and fly instead of tune. I think a Rossi is better suited for airplanes.
