Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

Bill, the .40 Quickie I have came straight from K&B when they were selling engines through their "Modeler Direct" business. There's no model stamped on the box, just "6.5 Quickie" hand written, and...

Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

Bill, you've got me beat by about five engines total! The NIB K&Bs I've got are the aforementioned Torpedo .40, a Bill Wizniewski designed type 8301 rear rotary .15, the aforementioned type 9140...

Magnum? I've got no problem there, Bill, but he said he already owns a TT!

Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

Bill, I don't own either of the 8300 series, but I do have one of the non-r/c FAI free flight K&Bs that probably has similar performance to the 8360, and I have a couple of the 9100 ducted fan...

Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

An alternative, if you just have to have a K&B, is to buy a K&B .48, which Mecoa/RJL/K&B claims to have available once again.
I have one of the ones produced before the K&B disaster, and it's very...

How to get inverted 4 stroke to run.

I'd like to ask a related question here. I recently built a plane with an inverted Saito .30, which has an air bleed idle circuit. It runs perfectly right side up, but is realy fussy when inverted....

Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

The 4011 uses a Dykes ring. It's a very efficient ring design that sits right at the top of the piston, and is "L" shaped in cross-section. It has nearly no drag on the compression stroke, then,...

Mousse can muffler or New Engine?

The K&B 4011 is a very good old engine, but it is old technology, i.e. loop-scavenged instead of Schneurle-scavanged. The modern multi-directional porting/scavenging system adds at least 1/3 more...

Thunder Tiger engines

Also called the 4-cycle/ 2-cycle break. When extremely rich, 2-cycle engines will skip firing every other time, hence the term, "4-cycling." they run waaay cold when doing this, so the upper...

OS Max .46fx

that depends on how far down the engine sits. One most trainers, the engine sits up pretty high, and a notch makes good sense. If it sits low enough to make a hole, by all means make one! :-)

OS Max .46fx

Use some CA glue or some butyrate dope for fuel proofing the hole. The needle should protrude just a little bit out of the side of the plane's nose, so the extension will make it much easier to...
