Cobradane, the one I got needs at least 7.4 volts ans as I don't use lipo's in my plane it's at the moment useless to me. OMG whatever happened to std letters ?

2-Stroke Petrol Engines and Tuned Pipes or Silencers.
Paul De Tourtoulon replied to Maninder's topic in IC Engines
If you want to tune a Zenoa, start by lining up the cylinder ports with the crankcase, I used to get new Zenoa trimmer engines new at the EU importers 2klm down the road from me for around £50 at the time, line the ports up and chuck them into 1/5 scale cars. -
Apc are the best, I also like the old Graupner ones, you could flick start a 2 stroke methanol engine without loosing a finger, Master airscrews are rubbish, but really cheap when you are using 20cc + engines.

Paul De Tourtoulon replied to Maninder's topic in IC Engines
I have flown a few ducted fan models and if they aren't tuned properly they won't have enough power to fly, I remember my OPS spp rear fan engine on it's silenced pipe ( over 110dB ) I got 22.000rpm on a modified Micro mold fan before it exploded. I turned two aluminum washers holding the 5( (?) separate blades together, replacing the ordinary metal washers. -
It will run on any nitro content from 5% upwards, easier to regulate it on 10%, and use 15/17% oil content, it will smoke and that is entirely normal, use a bigger prop to keep the rpm under 10.000rpm on the ground.

It's a suck it and see,,, fiddle around on the ground to get it tuned at maximum rpm with your flying prop, then ( I can't remember) I think I shortened it a bit, so that it only went into tune in the air. -
I’ve had a stroke at age44 last week!
