Status: offline 		I have been waiting three months for a 46GT. Scott eventually replies to e-mails but lately even that has stopped. We all go through times like this and I am trying to be patient (no choice really). Frankly I think he should have just suspended service for a couple of months to get himself sorted out and get caught up on the backlog and not spoil a well earned reputation; I for one would have totally understood. Let's hope things get sorted out soon.

Status: offline 		I had called Scott three weeks ago. I asked him about ordering the 46GT. He told me that it would be about 3 - 4 weeks. I have been trying to get an up date on my engine. I have called lots of times and I have sent e-mails. Today I sent a letter asking for an up date. I know he has been sick. I hope he is OK !! He could be gone on a vacation, with it being the 4th of July week.

Status: offline 		Couple of things:

First of all I want to thank xtraflyr, and cosmospho for the advice on my IDLE problem. I did find where the cylinder/block gasket seem to be pushed out under the carb. I loosened up the block bolts shoved it back in and put some high temp sealant on the spot. I'm not sure if it was leaking or not. But I just tested the engine, fire right up and settled down to 1,650. Success!

Secondly the leak advice matched what Scott had emailed me and told me over the phone as well. Guess I should have paid more attention. But the nice thing was Scott's email yesterday offering to take it back and fix it for me. And yes that's what I said the email was yesterday evening.

I too have had major delays, and at time wished I had ordered another engine. But I'm glad I have these two, B46 and 26SSR. The performance rocks. Such is the price of success. I have worked with Scott for two years on my engines, and I agree he is a stand up guy.

My advice to those without one is order early and have something else to fly, or order something for more money or less performance.

Your welcome led sled!

Scott has always tried to help me out by taking a motor back,if I wasnt happy. I too have a 46gt and the 26ssr.My dad has the 26ssr in his 80"span World Models Zero. My friend also has a 46gt and his dad has the 50cc. Were all very happy with our purchase.. I would buy from Scott again for sure.
He may be backed up due to family/health problems,but if you want he can have the motors made in China and they'll be garbage,but youll get your motor quicker..

Cya,
Frank

Status: offline 		Xtraflyr your dad has one in a 80" Zero!! Do you know what weight that plane is. I ask because i ordered this engine about a month ago for my 100x and have since came across a great deal on a 120 surpass. I still want the engine, just would like to know what is the upper limit of weight that this little engine will 3D?? Also i have heard from some guys at the field that since this engine is such high reeving it must lose some midrange?? how does yours preform there?

skillet92,
Yup as do I in a 73"KMP Hawker Typhoon that weighs just at 18lbs.It flys both if them beautifully.Im not sure of the weight of my dads plane but it has to be in the 15lbs range or more. Most of the time when we maidened dads Zero,it was in the midrange.Both of our engines are very new only one flight each on them. My Typhoon lowend was on the rich side so it was quite burbally(SP). Basically this engine will fly anything that uses a OS 160 2stroke.I would imagine it would fly your 100X no problem.
I believe Jake Ruddy(Sinergy) is going to put one in the new 78"Extreme Flight Extra and run it on a Tuned Pipe. I also remember hearing guys are running this motor on the Ultra RC Giles/Katana. Again both that are ranged for the OS 160.

Cya,
Frank

For 3D I would say the upper range is about 10 lbs. I had my 26SSR in a Quique 72" Yak at weighed in at 11.5 lbs. It would hover but had no pull-out. I currnetly have it in a Wild hare baby edge at 9.8 lbs, and it has plenty of pull-out, not rocket ship but enough to be comfortable down low.

Status: offline 		Mine, on a ESComposite Pipe and Mej 18x6, would easily hover my 13-lb'er It would also pull out of hover very well. I will have this plane back in the air soon and will get some video. Midrange was a little sharp in that it required some throttle curve to get a little more resolution. I was getting used to it for hovering and 3D before I nearly destroyed the plane.

I should have quantified my answer a little better. I am talking stock exhaust.
