Status: offline 		thanks to all for adding the weight of your planes. the nitro ultra bipe comes weighing 10 pounds. so if you guys are pulling 12-15 pound planes with this motor and your happy about it. i should be fine. as long as it has enough power to hover it will be enough for me.

Status: offline 		Guys, been following the thread with interest.Swore never to buy another chinese engine but hit the pay button on a sv26 in a moment of weakness. I understand that tech support is zilch and the motor has issues to say the least but I also noticed that almost everyone is happy once the bugs are ironed out.
My questions are :- do I need to do anything special before i fire it up the first time? I understand the mounting ears are the most vulnerable- would adding an aluminium plate be good or mounting direct to a ply box without the standoffs work? Is there life span for the reeds? Is 40:1 mix OK for the run in?
Thanks very much

Status: offline 		Plug the little hole in the throttle butterfly, make sure the spark occures at 30 deg BTDC, and adding a plate is a good Idea in my opinion. Mine is sanwiched between the reeds assy and the case, and I ground off the ears. I run 100:1 full synthetic myself. I ran almost 1 tank of 32:1 petroleum based mix, and was disgusted with the oil residue on the plane, and switched to 100:1 full synthetic immediately, and so far, no mess or other issues.

Status: offline 		You move the hall sensor in the direction of rotation. You should make a degree wheel, and set it so the spark occures at 30 deg BTDC. You can do it with the plug out by turnin the engine. (Static Timing)

Status: offline 		Thanks for the tips freeonthree.I just received the 26 and looks OK.A bit of paint came off the sides but i guess thats cosmetic.Overall, for the money I suppose I shouldn't quibble.The ignition looks like a rcexl clone. Engine alone weighs 985gm.The black steel muffler is kinda heavy but looks tough.

Status: offline 		26 what ? There sold under 22 different names. Check the timing first, mine was off 10 degree's... If there's a little hole in the throttle butterfly, plug it, or it wont idle down to a useable speed. My SV26 muffler was trash, not worth tossing in the trash. Buy a slimline or other quality unit for it.

Status: offline 		ran my SV26 today for the first time on a test bench...started right up and ran ok...at half stick and up...the engine sputters a little..could it be too rich or the timing off ?? but I think its going to be a strong runner
