RE: Need info from OS Wankel engine owner..

I have 3 of the later models and have been running them on 100% synthetic oil at a mix of about 20% without any major problems. I probably don't have as many hours on them as some people but have...

RE: O.S. Wankel info?

I think the Wankel might be made better if one had access to a surface grinder and could polish the rotor and housing....AND shave a tad off the clearance between the rotor and the end plates. If...

RE: Would you still use Nicd for RX pack?

NICADS for me !! They are cheap (comparetivly) reliable and I have all the chargers, cyclers etc, plus I also understand them. A big investment in money and learning acquired over a long time.

RE: Astro-Hog Incidences ?

The plans call for +1 1/2 on the stab and +2 1/2 on the wing for a difference of +1. It took a pair of 1/4" blocks in the saddle to get from +4 down to +2 1/2, the stab is at +1 1/2 with the...

RE: Astro-Hog Incidences ?

Turning out to be tougher than I thought. A LOT of cutting and shimming to get it down to +3. So I'll probably stop at +2 1/2 anyway.

RE: Need info from OS Wankel engine owner..

My experience suggests Wankels don't lose their seals they lose the springs that keep the seals tight. The leaf springs are not expensive or hard to replace. Run any fuel you like, at least 20% oil...

RE: Any simple way to check a tach's accuracy.

The US Standard of 60 hz is a target not an exact frequency. I have seen consumer power frequency dip as low as 57 and go as high as 62 hz. So just because your tach doesn't read EXACTLY 3600 when...
