    I grafted two stainless steel boat silencers on one of my Dle Ra's, and it was really quiet, like an old properly silenced methanol .60,,,

    That's why I didn't mention Castor oil in the same post,,😂,

    If it's a 'pitts' silencer, watch out for cracks, mine didn't last long.🤢

    Or do this to it,,, It's one of the first pictures, I have got the spray bay in line with the crankshaft in my PC-9, after putting another extension on it.

    Yes on plane engines, but some of the 2.1/2.5 and 3.5cc car engines would not run properly and especially the racing 2.1cc Rossi car engine would not run with castor in them but would run happily on 15% nitro and 10% synthetic oil all day. I did have my own model shop for 20 years and mixed and sold ( very successfully ) my own make of fuel, all different, Car, plane and Helicopter.

    I have had 2 of the RCV .58's, both ran hot, both less powerful than an OS.48fs, high idle and doesn't like Castor oil, the best running I got out of it was with 10% nitro and 12% synthetic oil, os F plug and I did make a finned head from an Irvine .53 to cool it down better, and also put another rubbish carburettor on it which gave me a better idle, "however", it never packed up in the air on me.

    As said, no way will you get a 2 stroke petrol down to 82dB, I have a couple of old lasers, I put a couple of % of castor in all my fuel, to protect them, and as with any 4 stroke you can always add on another silencer, even an aluminium tube with wire wool in it, to silence and deflect the oil.

    Toto, you will find that petrol engines don't throttle like methanol or electrics which are progressive, to help this problem out, set your servo control like this drawing,

    You have missed the point, that's what the forum is for, seeking advice.

    It's called 'learning experience', how did we get from caves to houses ?.

    It might be worth taking the head off and measuring the swept volume.

    I use 'Canopy glue' (google it ) as in some artf planes there is only 2mm balsa to screw into, it will stick any canopy to any film.

    The benefits of regulating the carburettor are easier starting and a more consistent idle. You don't have to do it,. Nice toys, get them on the bench and see how you get on, but firstly, take a photo of the needle valve positions so that you know where the factory set them before you fiddle with them, they are VERY sensitive.

    Can't you recuperate the old plug and solder it on a new pack, or get a pack with a Bec plug, only be careful not to put it the wrong way around in the radio.

    Google Walbro pop up for a video on it, here in psi ( 1 Bar),,

    A shame here is my new mould with a couple of bigger ones. A shame that you are so far away,,,
  19. Paul De Tourtoulon
    Are you going to regulate the 'popup' pressure in the carbs ?.
  20. Paul De Tourtoulon
    Does the pilot's canopy fit ? Mine was too small.
  21. Paul De Tourtoulon
    It could also be over weight if it has been running on castor oil, adding another 10 grams to it.😂
  22. Paul De Tourtoulon
    I have this,,,
  23. Paul De Tourtoulon
    Maybe someone could post a table with the owner's initials stamped on the engine with a list of what cc and dates that they were supplied, it would help the never ending lists of 'what have I got "?.🤢

    A dream to fly with 2 Saito .45 Specials, 8 years old now.
