Posted by Tim Cope on 26/06/2012 08:00:39: my mate bought one of the HK twostrokes ....the smallest one ...and it is really reliable, but a little course..., but overall he is really pleased with it ....especially for the money ....good luck with yours, it should be cheap to run compaired to a glow of that size, which drink the juice at £22 a gallon !! dont forget to change the fuel tank bung for a petrol one.... got the 26cc yesterday , it simular to the rcg engines but the carb is 90 deg to the cylinder, would have prefer the in line version, maybe next time i will pay the extrx $10 petrol mix is either 28-1 or 40 - 1 which whould you start with to run the engine in ?

Posted by Tim Cope on 23/06/2012 22:14:16: sorry richard .....was the point that the two stroke was light ? or just didnt make much power ... I think that 920gm weight is without ignition etc ...and a saito 125 is less that 700gms all in still each to there own ... gone down the gas route as the engine was with import tax £98 from HK so the weight might be an issue but we wil see, engines arrvie monday to bench test

I must admite I think it needs to be built as light as pratical, with something like a thunder tigre 130 4T or an OS 125 ....on it for best results .....I picked one up with a CRRC pro 26 in the front and Im still under the osteopath now .....whats the point of putting too much waight in to get the same power??

got my wot 4 xl on friday, they still not correct the faults advice please - what servos would you use in the for rudder and elevators i intest to buld min lowprofiles into the tail end, not sure of the kg required, for rudder and ele's using hitec 645mg mostly, standard mg for throttle & choke, with a kill swtich also how do you fibre glass the undercarrage plate, photos would help???? could you use a wing bandage to fg the plate???? never fg

Posted by Tim Cope on 18/06/2012 07:56:34: I would recommend one of the many deals going on with the Spektrum DX8 ....like DX8 with 3 recievers and telemetry for £259 from Ali's hobbies it really cannot be beaten in the price range (IMO)   i will take a look, but i was looking at the a used futaba 10 tx or buying 2 ff9 to convert to 2,4   Edited By richard armstrong 2 on 18/06/2012 10:28:03
