Does anyone know of a multi cylinder gasser out there? I'm talking about more than a twin now. I'm sure there are some glow engine that may have been converted but are there any true multi cylinder gassers? Just curious.

Robby,

Man, that's some serious horse power . From the looks of the prices on these babies I'd say it's time for a conversion muti cylinder. I was thinking on the lines of something a little smaller. Something I can afford .

Then again, there's the 4 cylinder 3w's. None of the big multis, either opposed or radial, are cheap. They all require pretty large planes as well. The RCS radial engines perform extremely well and sound NEAT!

Hi,

3W has a 4 cylinder 112? cc engine. I am trying to think up a research need for that engine. I think it would be sweet.

How about a converted Pratt & Whitney?

It has cool factor no doubt

Wonder if it sounds as nice as one of the big Moki/RCS radials. Could be an alternative for that true to scale sound!

Any one with a vid of that motor running. I seen the one on the 3w Sight, but I don't think it does it justice.

3W had a flat 6, Precision Eagle had an inline 3, Husky Challenger had inline twins, 3w has inline twins..There are some inline 4s also....

yum, lucky you - you can think like that

Years ago, when I was in R&D, all I had to do was to find unallocated funds and justify the use to myself. We did get several of those four cylinder opposed engines, various marks - and I remember the prices were at least double what they are now. JPX in france built us a small four-banger, 880 cc, 60 HP. I sometime think of all the good stuff we junked trying to do things which we knew were not possible. One could equip a small R/C airforce with that load of stuff.

And here I am dreaming.....

What about the LS 50 twin? Not a bad price at $450. I'm still waiting to hear something good or bad about it. I'm tempted to take a chance and buy it. All it takes is money.

There is always the venerable Zenoah 80 twin gasser, if you have around $800.

Thanks for all the input guys. It's very clear now that "multi cylinder gasser" are out of my reach or should I say the better halfs reach . She said and I quote, "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT" The verdict is in.

Thats new, It a one off type a thing. Its a collectors motor for sure.

Me I like the new Moki/RCS 150 radial. Love that Radial sound!

That 112b4 is a sweet looking engine. I'll bet it has almost as much power as the first full scale cub engines did!

My Feedback: (40)

Who makes the gas conversin for the Saito 325?

How well does it run and do you have any overheating problems?

there not that bad,keep checking auction sites,rc swap meets,ect.Theres been a couple twins here on rcu that where about in the 5-600 range but could be talked down a little in the next 2 weeks probably.Keep looking.I wanted one of those 61cc twin echos so i could convert one and finally one showed up about an 8 months wait.
