Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2007ASP or SC?
Hi, Having used both since comming back to model flying does any one have any valid knowledge of the differences of these engines. I allways found the ASP better but do not think there is any real justification for this. But the specs usually seem to quote the ASP with a better power output although these can be hard to compare some times. Also, for example, if they are directly out of the same stable then why is there am ASP52 but an SC53.

ASP reputedly employ a design engineer who spent some years with OS. These days it is not uncommon for engineering companies to sub-contract the construction of their designs. seabee So what your saying is I could be right in thinking that ASP has at the moment an edge over SC and who knows. In the future could be superior to SC and a direct alternative to OS. - Guess things could go the other way too! At pesent I seem to get an impression that ASP's quality is BETTER than SC. I find both take considerably more running in time than a comparable O.S. product but when run in there is very little difference save for the fact that ASP seems to have the edge on power. Having said all that, I have seen instructions that ASP were putting out that had SC blotted out. > So what your saying is I could be right in thinking that ASP has at the > moment an edge over SC and who knows.

I thought ASP were distributed in the UK only by Just Engines and of the few that I have bought none had any other literature included than that produced by Just Engines. However I agree with you that ASP do appear to have the edge on SC. In my opinion an ASP is a better buy than a budget OS. seabee They are made by Sanye I think, ASP, SC and Magnum. Weston UK sell their own tuned version of the magnum engines. You can by Sanye engines from www.peakmodel.com http://www.peakmodel.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7_37&zenid=cef4fa0ee0cc eedb214eabe888761f9c Check out their prices, Sanye FS 180AR £134! Refer to "Engines,Plugs,Tuning, Petrol, Turbines, Mufflers, Cleaning, etc" sub section "Glow, Diesel & CO2 Engines - all (Home pages) " on my web page, in particular AP Engines (Sanye Machinery Co Ltd.) ASP engines (A.S.P.) (Sanye Machinery Co Ltd.) Sanye Machinery Co.,Ltd = ASP, AP, Magnum,SC etc Sanye also manufacture RCV Engines Ltd for which some assembly is done in UK. A number of Sanye made engines have different carburettors, head shapes etc to meet different distributors "brand / cost" needs. A new model may be first represented under one brand whilst another brand uses up the surplus parts relating to an older model. regards Alan T.
