    When I get one I will put a laser 70 in it for sure Bert

    Well I went out and flew the other one and they are totally different to fly.   I have checked the c/g and both are about the same the only difference is that the one with the BX1 is heavier.   As I have another FS90 my plan is to re engine the heavy one and see if it makes much difference

    I went to BMFA nationals and got another Toot in the bring and buy Fitted a OS BX1 as this lined up with original mount and throttle rose joint   Good power but over all to heavy not nice to fly like my other one with the old OS FS90   Bert

    Hi to all I went to the BMFA nationals again this year and bagged another Toot   In quite nice condition.   It came with an engine mount already fitted and as there are no other holes in the firewall I can only assume that the mount was fitted from new.   The only engine I had that matched the mount size and holes was an OS BX1 and also throttle link and eyelet went straight on.   I test flew it and came to conclusion that the engine is to heavy for the plane.   It was a flight with a sinking feeling I must confess to not checking the C/G but it did respond well to elevator control,   My other one powered by an old OS FS 90 is a lot better to fly and defiantly has better glide characteristics   Bert

    I will need to set the laser back into the firewall so What I have done is fitted OS FS 90 as it flew well with this combination, and will do rework for laser during the winter time Bert

    Hi after a bit of shed time   I have found the old OS FS 90 is a straight forward fit   My T/Tigre 91 fs slightly to long because carb fowls the engine mount screw   Laser 120 to long   Saito 130 twin just about fits ( but not sure about the actual power output as instruction say it has same power as a 60 two stroke   I think it will be the Laser in the end   Bert

    Hi I have now collected my Toot   She was previously powered by an old OS FS 90 four stroke the one with the timing gear at the back of the engine.   I have got one although old I only ran it for the first time early this year and it still needs to be run in.   My intention was to put a Laser 120 in her the only thing that has put me of at the moment is that the Laser is to long.   So I think I will put the OS 90 in for the time being as I know she flew very well although a bit more power would be handy.   She is probably about twenty years old and it shows in her condition she is in need of a recover and tidy up.   I think I will fly her for a while and then strip her out for repairs and recover and get the Laser to fit.   Bert

    Hi to all Well after cutting some of the parts out I got side tracked with other projects.   It has been that long since I started I was asked the other day how far I had got with the build of toots   I since have been offered a secondhand one at a very reasonable price   So I will be collecting her shortly and have got a Laser 120 to fit into her Bert

    Hear it is before I put it in the T240         I am going to hide in a cowl   Just like the Tartan no spares are available for the starter anymore   Still it's only fun fun fun   bert

    Hi Phil It might seem mad to most and a waste of time but hey it's only fun trying different stuff' it's what makes us all different.     I am a bit nutty myself I own two 22cc single tartans and two 44cc twin's   I have never ran any of the single's yet and only really got them for spares for the twin's   T240 yes that's the way I am going, I got a Fema on board starter for one of the twins and have bolted it and a twin to a T240.   I have had touble with the tilloison carb and the reed valve.   I found the reed valve not closing properly and pump not working   I had to flat off the reed valve holder and noted that the screws must not be to tight   I have pulled apart the carb and cleaned it and gave the flappy vales a slight tweaking   I have managed now to get the engine to start with the onboard starter although this was only on one cylinder as my starter battery was to flat to turn over engine with both plugs in.   But hey it did start and ran well     So now I am waiting for batteries to become fully charge   One thing I would say is that twin glow plugs don't like starter power panel glow drivers   I found this out with my G Mark 30 twin ran it at home using a glow stick went to field and forgot glow stick and used power panel and couldn't understand why engine would not start then pulled out both plugs and checked them put them back in and still no go then found out what was going on and started it on one cylinder then transfered to other cylinder' Probably not a bad idea as you will now that both are running just by sound. yes I know i could have touched exhaust or head     You may be able to view my twin on mmfc egerton then forum onboard starting   Bert

    Hi to all   I went to the bmfa natts and came across a second hand toot for sale it was up for £375.00 ready to fly, It looked nice though, hope mine comes out as good Bert

    Hi Barry I have had a look at your photos of your toot   Is your cowl a fibreglass one piece cowl   If so were did you get it from   The one I got from my hobbys is two piece right and left side much prefer the look of yours   Cheers Bert
  23. bert baker
    Hi Jim The cowl I have purchasesd from my hobbys is most masive not expecting any problems.   I have got a choice of engines,o/s 120 surpass,saito 125 GK,o/s 120 surpass pumped and a satio 130 twin, to many to choce from, lucky old me.   My mates toot origioanly had the engine (a 1983 o/s fs 90 fs)  fitted inverted but was later change to horizontal because the engine occasionalty backfired.   I was quite supprised at performance verry good but He did say that more power would be way to go,   I will be going to fitt a fourstroke more for the loverly sound they make rather than performance,     How have you got yours set up. inverted or horizontal Bert
