The link states: Please note:- This is for NITRO powered vehicles only. Any reason for this statement?

Laser engines - the state of play following their closure
Robert Welford replied to Ron Gray's topic in IC Engines
Is anyone waiting for a Laser engine(s) to be delivered via MSL? -
Everyone: thank you all for your suggestions. Regards, Robert
-
I read somewhere someone suggested snipping the fins off a Laser engine to get this type of remote plug to fit. That would make me weep 😂
-
Interesting: I've got a set of these, but use them for bending fuel tank pipework! BTW I use OS plugs as well.
-
John: use of flexy spring is an interesting solution. I will try to source some spring. MK plug remotes used a spring in the connector, but they are no longer available. I have used MK remotes with success although the plug/socket used to self-destruct over time when used with YS engines - probably the vibration.

We need to see details of your workshop 😉

I often remotely wire the glow plug connections on inaccessible engines - mostly Lasers and YS. In the past i have used OS remote leads, but these are now impossible to source. I wondered what others used and whether anyone had a homemade solution that is reliable. YS engines on resilient mounts appear to eat most connectors for breakfast due to the movement.

Graf, what type and make of paint have used on the Pup? I'm interested as I have a Toni Clark Pup kit to build some time. Regards, Robert

Sebart Wind S 50E - conversion to DLE 20 - recommendations
Robert Welford replied to MikeQ's topic in All Things Model Flying
Interesting mine is probably equally light, but feels as if it could do with more power. I'm using a 12 x 7 APC (with 20% fuel) - I will try a 13 x 6 APC. I have a NIB YS 70 FZ as well so was thinking of changing engines in the opposite direction 🙂 -
Sebart Wind S 50E - conversion to DLE 20 - recommendations
Robert Welford replied to MikeQ's topic in All Things Model Flying
I agree with Jason's comment that the DLE 20 isn't appropriate - use a glow 63/70 4-stroke or 50/55 2 stroke. I have installed YS 63S in a Sebart Angel 50S by modifying the motor box as Jason describes. I have had no problem with vibration. Jason, what propeller do use with the YS 70 FZ? -
Looking for help with Simprop Manual
Robert Welford replied to jyrkia's topic in All Things Model Flying
Yes Multiplex Royal MC and Profi 2000 looked similar, but this says Simprop and is Simprop - nice find 😀 I bought a Multiplex Royal MC radio set at the Nationals in 1985. A significant increase in functionality compared to the Skyleader TSX7 I was using at the time. -
There is an OS silencer with 37mm centres for sale here: https://classifieds.bmfa.org/acadp_listings/os-3071-silencer

Thanks Geoff - very useful.
