neil jones Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 im thinking of putting a os 55 ax into a cougar 2000 anyone got any thoughts on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Richards Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Much more engine than it needs. A good light 36 is perfect for it. But I am sure it will fly with the 55 but you will need some lead on tail to balance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil jones Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 its got an irvine 53 in at mo but engines a bit dodgy not very reliable but it goes like a bomb when it behaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Richards Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I am sure it does. But a Good 36 will take it vertical until it goes out of sight why do you need more. If its speed you like then the Cougar 2000 is the wrong model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil jones Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 no i dont want speed i just love the cougar to bits and as the irvine is a bit dodgy was just thinking of dropping in the ax 55 wich is at a loose ebnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Richards Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 OK sounds as good a reason as any. Go for it.Edited By Bruce Richards - Moderator on 05/06/2010 20:57:49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aslan Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Change the O ring and save the engine. The 55AX is way, way too much for the Cougar. But each to his own........ Better beef up the firewall though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytilbroke Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 The O ring on the carb base could be dodgy too. I have had to replace a couple on my Irvine's. Os 55 ax a bit much possibly, but mine really makes my "Panic" move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector9566 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 as has been said the 55 is to big for the cougar I had a 46ax in mine and it pulled vertical from a prop hang with ease before I converted it to lecky save the 55 for something more sporty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
