Good luck with it, and welcome aboard, Nick.

I have witnessed the same problem on a spectrum radio, the servos worked on a Y lead and servo tester but not on the receiver, so I programmed them on separate channels, something about the signal on the channel too feeble, as it worked on my Futaba radio, but I tested it on the 41.100 band not on 2.4.

Welcome aboard Robert.

I found the information on Rcgroups a couple of months ago, morris mini motors stuff is gold-plated. First picture my one done myself,(180) the second (150) the red anodised morris ring and walbro carb, carb bought on aliexspress for less than 20€. Both engines bought as non runners for less than 150€. I forgot, no keyway on the prop drivers, so a fridre/blowlamp fitting job.

I got a second hand one, and modified it, the 120/125/150/180's will run on petrol with the methanol carbs, so get yourself a rexel ignition system and a saito petrol plug, make a timing ring and for around 60€ you have a cheap Saito petrol engine.

Welcome to the forum, where did you get the car park idea for a name ?.

The RA rear ones are a bit quieter, and you can fit a canister to them which makes all the différance to the noise problem. And gives you more power.

What does that mean ?

20 years ago we had 'copy shop', they would do copies for peanuts, long since disappeared, 15 years ago I got a plan from outerzone on a memory stick and the price that they were asking, I would have had 50% shares in their printer ! -

No, I converted to petrol, Don, still the same problem on the earth, maybe in the next 30 pages it will get sorted.🤣 -

So where do the plugs get their earth from ?. Same 8mm, but the spark plugs are longer, I think the best way to go is as Ron says, scrape the anodising off. You could always convert to petrol,, 🤣or electric,, 🤢 -

You could always put a Saito petrol plug cap on your glow plug wire. I eventually found it. -

Fit them with shake proof star washers. I have seen remote plug clips that you push on and turn them. Or as said earlier, one of these for the earth. -

Tap out the plug threads, or put a washer under them with a wire soldered to them. -

As long as you have the main shapes, sizes and outlines, just line your bits up with a straight edge. -
Here we go again !, Pierre and his 'woes', engine cuts out at 100 metres of altitude, no left turn to land, a short right turn and vertically into the unknown, 5 of us looking for it for over an hour in the 1.5m long grass, so the next day I went back with one of my drones with its Gopro, I found it in another field way beyond where we were looking, it's reparable, the engine fault, (T-Tiger .91 4 stroke) is the top of the tank is in line with the spray bar and the bottom 14cm lower, what on earth was he thinking of !.

I printed my own on A 4, they more or less lined up, no worse than my building skills.🤢
