    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.

    A shame here is my new mould with a couple of bigger ones. A shame that you are so far away,,,

    Are you going to regulate the 'popup' pressure in the carbs ?.

    Does the pilot's canopy fit ? Mine was too small.

    It could also be over weight if it has been running on castor oil, adding another 10 grams to it.😂

    I have this,,,

    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.

    Like mine,, 😇

    Good luck with the locktite, it won't work, I have a couple of old motors with the same problem, one I drilled the exhaust port a little deeper and deepened the thread, now it is ok, another I have used the older technique that Rossi used for their piped 2 strokes, a steel ring with a spring around the cylinder head.

    How do you get the cigarettes into the glow plug hole ?.

    Looks like a nice cheap kit to replace my fading Hurricane, but with Brixit,,,🤢

    Pinking is pre-ignition too hot and or mix to lean on petrol engines.
  22. Paul De Tourtoulon
    I found that the 'pitts' silencers ended up falling to bits in less than a gallon of petrol on the 20cc engines.
  23. Paul De Tourtoulon
    I was told it was 'pinking', Diesel Injectors, if my memory is right, were regulated as far as 230 bars on the 6 cylinder Volvo engines.
  24. Paul De Tourtoulon
    As they only use half the fuel, or like me put some castor oil in the mix like I do to make up for it.🤩
  25. Paul De Tourtoulon
    Yes, most 4 strokes and 2 strokes will drop a few RPM's, don't worry about it, throw it in the air where it belongs.
