    Manifold Extensions

    in IC Engines

    Posted

    Be careful of making your extensions too long if they are solid'I have found that they crack
    use only the flexi pipe for extensions or silicone tubing even the steel flexi can crack that I found, make sure that you clamp it on the firewall someware hope this helps

    talking to a guy in the civil aviation safety authority and he just laughed about it  take a look at the size of the aircraft, it is a long way away from the model ,ok the model may not have been 5 kilometers away from the a/c but it sure was a long way if that model had hit or near missed the jet there would be very little left of it if anything and yet it was filmed on the ground all points a side I think it was very foolish flying a model so close to a international airport in the first place ,in australia you must be 3 nautical miles away from a aerodrome to fly model aircraft and a bit of common sence to go with it, been flying full size commercially most of my life belive it or not you do come across some strange things at times

    Hi guys I mix my own fuel which I have done since the 1970s and when the four stroke motors came out I mucked around with my mixtures a bit and the best I came up with is btw I have only used this on os 4 strokes 14% advanced castor oil 10% nitro and the rest methanole never had a problem I have a os 70 4 stroke which has in excess of 200 hours on it and it is still going like the first day I bought it mind you you guys living in a colder climate might have a problem with the castor oil I don't know
