RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
I saw them onsale at Horizon for $99 a couple weeks back. Tough to pass up on that price. Only wish I hadn't jumped in first up and paid retail for it. Lol

When I complained they acted like I had NEVER talked with them about it, and the wanted me to do all the measuring all over again. Turns out they had done this old muffler for someone else and had an extra on the shelf which is what they sent to me. Then they wanted me to pay them more money to fix the muffler they sent to me that didn't fit. So the only way I will deal with them is if someone else works out a design and Jtec or someone sends me a drawing with dimensions on it so I KNOW it's going to fit before I send them any money. Once burned twice shy I say. Thanks anyway. |

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
Dave,
do you think the factory needle is the way it is for a reason...i'm in the process of of putting my plane together on hanger 9 katana 50..i've run my engine some on the test stand..can't really tell on the stand until the engine is off the load..i did take some 320 sandpaper and knock the edge off the high side needle on the end...i'm gonna run it the way it is for a while to see how it adjusts...what blades have you tested and which size you like the best far as performance ...12 x 6 in the manual says best all around... |

On the 8lb Meridian airframe (dry weight, no fuel), my Evo likes a 12x6 APC the best. I flew it with a 13x6 and it worked pretty good but you could tell there was a performance decrease in aerobatic "snappiness". I think 8lbs is about the "performance limit" for this engine. I've also put the Evo on a 7lb trainer with a 11x7, 11x7, 12x6, 13x4 and 13x6. On that plane, the 12x6 and the 13x4 was the best match. I have a good 60-75 degree vertical climb out with those props.

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
YEA Dave,
i have run mine on the stand for about 1/4 gal and it seems to do really well..i made sure to get the temp up over 180 degrees and it seems really impressive on the stand..i have the hanger 9 katana 50 to put it on..the bare frame weighs 3.5,so hopefully i want be all that heavy when completed..i am gonna use life batteries so hopefully that will help some on the weight and gonna put pitts muffler on it and that will shed an ounce or two..my thinking is the pitts muffler will be more suitable for a gas engine..i'm not really clear why they went this type of muffler..i guess to keep from having to make different ones...i'm really excited about the first flight and hope i'm not dissappointed ..its really strong for a gas engine its size... i will let you know how the first flight goes after i do my maiden....thanks ...craig |
RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
I talked with Al @ JTEC this morning about making 2 wrap around style pitts mufflers for my hanger 9 B-25. I will be sending him one of the engines for making these mufflers. If anyone is interested in getting one or two made he will have something to refer to. My distance from prop hub to the rear side of my mounts will be 4-3/4". He mentioned he would like to use 1-1/4 OD chamber but mine will only beable to use 1". The price is around 80.00 for one. I have had one other custom pipe made from them for my jba 15 that turned out very nice.

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
thanks for the offer,
i'm mounting mine in the horizontal position with exhaust coming out the bottom.i'm hoping the pitts is gonna work well for me.....do you have any pictures on these mufflers? |
RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
I dont have any pictures, I am going to send the enginein the next day or so. I was planning on inverted, I was wondering if the horizontal muffler would lose any power?
|
RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
i don't know,i talked to the horizon guy Jimmy,and he said they tried the pitts and didn't think there was any performance drop..i use them on the glow engine...ive noticed most of the gas engines having small canister mufflers on them..don't know if it will be the same for this engine since its the same block assembly as glow engine..just have to experiment i guess..i might have to order the extention so i can run the factory muffler cause i can't run it without extented it some...

RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine
hi Jason(Kork) i will be chasing two inverted style pitts mufflers for my engines(once i get them) as i intent to mount my engines inverted into the blackhorse aerocommander shrike.
