P.A.W. 1.49 plain bearing - can't adjust compression
Tom Major replied to Tom Major's topic in IC Engines
Thank you all for amazing advice gents. Liner is soaking now in fuel, will leave it there for few hours and then try to move contrapiston (that's another word in my dictionary ). If that doesn't help, will try with heat and vice. I shall post an update when I get to it later today. Cheers. -

Thanks a lot Martin, I thought about it too but didn't want to risk any damage before someone actually confirms it (no to mention waking up her indoors...). -
P.A.W. 1.49 plain bearing - can't adjust compression
Tom Major replied to Tom Major's topic in IC Engines
Yes, fuel is fresh, got a can of D2000 after I bought the engine and opened just once when my rig was set and engine was ready to fire. The problem I have now is that compression is so strong I can't turn it over at all. Also during first attempt I didn't notice any changes in compression. The next thing that seemed logical was to turn the compression screw in even more and since then, even with the screw out I can't do anything... Frank I just have the mag on my lap now, only got it yesterday. Another edit: Article doesn't seem to solve my issue as it mentions fully working engines. Good writing by Steve though!

Hi folks. Not long ago I bought said P.A.W. on fleabay. I've tried to get it running few days ago and found out that compression is not really adjustable - once it's down too much, I can't decrease it at all. I had a quick look inside (again) and found out that cylinder liner is not sitting in the crankcase as such - it came out of cylinder head. Inside I also found some strange looking part (do you call it counter piston??) that would be the cause of my issue. I didn't want to go too hard on this so of course I didn't fix it, don't really know what the problem is. It is my first (of hopefully many) model diesel engines, so please don't be too harsh (but banter more than welcome! ). Is there anything I could do to try and fix it? Here is a pic of that engine Thanks in advance for pointers. Regards Tom

I live at intersection of 3 major routes including transatlantic, I get all kinds of commercial aircraft over my house as well as fairly few bizzjets, saw italian KC767 and get plently of local air traffic too - Cessnas, Pipers etc.

Bobby That would be fantastic to be able to get in touch with designer and show them finished and hopefully flown model . Please feel free to drop me pm with mentioned addresses, I will get in touch with John when the build is started. Regards Tom,

Hi In my recent search for some small Edge 540 or similar plane, I stumbled upon old issue of RC Model World, kindly presented to me by her indoors. It contains free plan of Sukie, little aerobat It is a little bigger than what I wanted, but construction looks so simple and straightforward that it would be naughty not to build it . A lot of sheeted elements with tissue covering under iron on material, I can only imagine it will be bullet proof. Anyone is familiar with it or tried to build it? Not much info can be found on the net... Regards Tom .
