Us "hunt and peck" types are REEEEEEL slow on the ole keyboard.And I thought it was geekish back in highschool to take "typing" as a course.Geesh!!Then again,who would have figured back in 1978 that most people would have a personal computer in their house and be chatting back and forth like this world wide?Isn't hind sight great!And to think I took belly dancing instead............

Status: offline 		I was complaining to a friend at work a while back. I'd been typing so much my fingers were sore. He held up his right index finger and said "this puppy does the work of ten fingers!" I thought that was pretty cute. He was in a small car wreck a little while later. The only injury he sustained was when the airbag deployed. SUPERFINGER was broken. If you thought he typed slow before, you should have seen him with that cast on. He would tape a pencil, eraser down, to the splint and was back in business. Just shows you don't always know when you've got it good.

Status: offline 		Way off topic here, but some interesting trivia...

The keyboard layout we have now is called the "Qwerty" system. It's called that because that's the top left row of keys. The system was invented long ago to actually slow down typists, as the old mechanical typewriters would jam up if you typed too fast. There are much better/faster layouts, scientifically proven, but nobody wants to change and learn all over again!

BTW, I've seen some wicked fast "hunt & peck" typists though.

Take care,
AV8TOR

I've looked, I really have, but I didn't see any rpm/prop/thrust data for the 33cc Homelite. Anyone have any numbers they can share? Please state with what brand prop if you post info.

Thanks a bunch,
AV8TOR

Can anyone post the weight of the engines please?
1) with factory ignition, and fins trimmed.
2) has anyone put a CH Ign? and weight with it installed.

Status: offline 		Mine turns a Bambula 18x8 at 7740rpm on a B&B muffler. Weight with the mag and Hanger Nine mounts is around 4.5lbs. I just converted my 45 to the C-H ignition, forgot to weigh it though. I'll weigh it when my new crankshaft (backordered from Outdoor distributers) gets here.

Status: offline 		The numbers for the 33 are on the stock ignition.
The 45 turned the 18x8 Bambula at 8400rpm with the stock muffler. With a B&B muffler it turned a MA 20x10 at 7320rpm and a Pro Zinger 18x10 at 7710rpm. I crashed the Ultra Stik it was on during the 12th flight due to a battery failure. Straight in, wide open. Bent the crank and the flywheel ( but my carb adapter remained perfectly intact) A couple of weekends ago I got the motor out and straightened the crank ( the best I could) and put another flywheel on it. It ran fine with just a little runout at the prop hub. So I decided to go ahead and make the parts for the C-H conversion and order a new crank ($34.27 from Outdoor Distributers, not too bad) The only prop I've run it on since I converted it is the Pro Zinger 20x8 which it turned at 7830rpm (sorry I don't have any direct comparisons on the same prop). It was shaking a little more than I liked at low speed so I decided to postpone further test until I get the new crank installed.

Those cranks are HARD! I can see why Ralph charges $40 to straighten one. I really don't have the proper equipment in the shop to do the job right.
