Help, Club Super Tigre!
I purchased a older G20 that I can't find any specs on it. I believe it's 20 cc
I have attached 2 pics. I'm new to the Super Tigre brand. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
I would like to find a parts list and specification list.

Could this be it? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFV80&P=ML

It measures very close to that!
How can I tell for sure from the # on the crankcase?
Thanks for the post!

Hmm, available on backorder. So we will see ST for sale on their site soon?

Maybe if enough people order their engines, they will produce them? Like "If you order them, they will come"

flyingagin

All of ST engines have been on backorder order status for several years now. Same for parts.
Don't believe I have ever seen an explanation. We may never see one at this point.

Sorry, but that was all I could dig up.

Sport_Pilot

Really? Seems it said "Temporarily Unavailable", and you could not order it on backorder. Now you can,

I just looked at Tower's website and all the Super Tigre .engines now show: "Order Pending". This would seem to indicate either the current distributor is expecting a shipment or another wholesaler has taken over the line and a shipment is coming.

In contrast the Tower .61 and .75 ABC engines show "Temporarily Unavailable" which would seem to indicate no order in place at this time.

It would be sweet to see them back on the market.
Need a muffler for my 3000. Would the muffler for the 3250 fit 3000?

I would like to see them availale as well. I have recently purchased several second had NIB G75s because they were unavailable. I like the .75 because it has about 22% mor power than the .61 and can still take a Top Flite in cowling muffler (i have located several TF ST adapters as well).

It has been almost a running gag between me and our sales rep at Great Planes, I always call them up and ask when the Super Tigres are coming in.

I love my ST. and i luv them even more when I get told there no good since they went to China or their just plain junk . The people we have to fly with , man I do have to bite my tounge sometimes but at least I talk about them behind thier back . . Lucky its x-mas or I would jump on their throat ! Cheers the pope

What's not to love about a ST?
I have a 34, love how it's a drop in fit for a OS 25 with loads more power. Also a 40, 90, 3000

Hi there Fly , I have one of those 34's in a 25 size ugly stik and it moves along very nicely . It had a mag25 which was cool but this is heaps better again . The mag is a fav as well . Have a 45 - 2x51 - a 90 and the 34 . Had a 40 but like a idiot sold it to buy some expensive servos , it was n.i.b. Told the new owner a bud of mine I will buy it back if he wants to sell it for whatever reason . Cheers

I stuck my 34 in a Kadet Jr. I place of the OS 25.
Not any faster as I stayed with a 6" pitch. But man the climb out was really impressive.

I have an S29 ringed, 2 GS45 ABC, S90K ringed, and an X60 ringed ABC. The GS45 makes an impressive diesel conversion. Just short of 10.8k on a 13x6 APC.

All of my ST engines are Italian. I'm quite happy with them. I need a ring and carb for the X60 and one of my GS45s is NIB plus I have a spare near new piston/liner/rod for the GS45. I have had a G51 (Italy), an S45 ring (Italy), and a G2300 (China). The latter all ran fine - just needed to thin the herd a bit to make room for other engines..

If if there is ever a person that doesn't like SuperTigre Carburetors, I'll be happy to take them off their hands and maybe even trade carb's... I would trade an OS carb for an ST carb any day.

flyingagin

Only my 40 is Chinese. Ringed. Made a very impressive amounts of smoke during break in. Set off the fire alarms in the house. YES I was running it outside!!! Have yet to fly it. Hmmm nope it won't drop into a 25 mount. That would be an insane Kadet Jr. Although I did stuff s Ervine 40 into one once.

The pictured engine is a 2300. If anybody is interested, a buddy of mine is selling a low-time 2300 on Ebay right now. Also has a Bisson muffler for it on sale as well.

I have an Italian late model 60 on my Four Star 60 and its is a great engine. I picked it up cheap at a swap meet because it had some leaks but after I sealed it up it runs fine. I have two 40s one Italian and one Chinese and I cant tell the difference in performance. I used a Thunder Tiger carb on my Italian 51 because the stock one was missing and it runs great. I really liked the 40 on my Great Planes Escapade it was a good match.

I too have both Italian and Chinese made Tigres I can't tell them apart without reading the crankcase.

I just got a notice from Tower canceling my Super Tigre back order. Super Tigre is no longer listed on Towers website. Well dang.

Too bad they had to change distribution years ago. ST engines made in Italy put OS to shame. Too bad. I need to start hoarding parts for my Italian stallions now before they're extinct.

the pope

Whats wrong with the Chinese Tigres Tim ? Did you dream that the faries screwed with them like OS's liners ? Why do you feel the need to take a swipe at OS when the thread is about ST and nobody other than you even brought the subject up ?
