Mintor 22 Piston

Well, I got my engine back Monday and got it put back on the plane last night. I can say this... this engine has never had this much compression in it's life! Not sure when I will get around to running it with me being out of town this weekend and next week, but I will give a report when I do. Thanks again Richard!

It is going to get above freezing here in Michigan, so maybe I will get a chance to fly the Pro 260 with my Mintor 22cc engine. May need to pack the snow down with the 4x4 truck for a take off runway! Capt,n

The outdoor temps got close to 40 degrees. Problem though, the wind was very strong. Bad wind-chill.........

I forgot to say, the tape never melted & did not leave anything to speak of on the fin outer edges. I now have the stretchy part of a sock around the top portion of the jug. Capt,n

My Mintor 22cc engine was the very first one repaired by Richard aka Cyberwolf and what a success it has turned out to be. Since then he has successfully repaired several others of varing sizes, however many that own defective M engines are unaware that the service that he offers exists so in an effort to help our fellow modelers who might be in need of a quality repair service for their engines let us who are enjoying our brought back to life M engines help spread the word that there is life after death for Mintors.

My Feedback: (1)
Tried to get another flight on my M33 Saturday and the engine let go. Something inside the engine broke while taxiing onto the runway and I haven't taken it apart yet to see what the problem is. After all this time and money wasted, I am giving up and buying a different engine.

Karol, this was a good day to run engines. I started up & ran 3 of them. The last one was my Mintor 22 cc engine. I have not run it in months & had to get the carb wet with a direct prime. It then started right up & after a 3-4 min warm-up it ran great. Now after hearing it run I want to fly. I will have my friend tack it. Best Regards to everyone. John

Hi John,
It's good to know that you got a chance to run your engines, hopefully the temperatures will warm up sufficiently so that you will get a chance to get in some flying.
