RE: Brushed motor underwater?

It is for a submersible camera setup. I am going to run two motors such that I have total control over turning and forward/reverse, just like in a boat, but this will be submerged. Trying to come up...

Brushed motor underwater?

I have run a brushless motor underwater an it runs fine, at least in fresh water. Do you think a brushed motor will also work underwater? The reason for going brushed is that I already have a brushed...

RE: LiPo Fully Charged Voltage

Thanks all of you for the replies. I think I can conclude that since my MkII was originally for LiIon cells it is not charging my LiPoly's to full capacity (4.2 volts).

For info, I replaced the...

RE: Four Star 120 questions

berta,
Thanks for the nice reply. I have become fond of gas engines, especially the small ones. Putting it on a 4*60 was more a conversation piece than anything. Frankly, I am surprised it still...

RE: Four Star 120 questions

Berta,
The reason I suggested a larger gas engine than the G23 for the 4*120, is that I have flown my friends 4*120 and it will not do a vertical roll and still have any flying (like with a wing)...

RE: Four Star 120 questions

See my recent post concerning putting a G26 in the 4*60. That is a great combination, putting one in a 4*120 would not be. A 35 to 42 CC gas would be great. My friend is flying a 4*120 with the GMS...

Sorry for not responding sooner, guys. I will get some pictures out soon. I bashed the plane a little, giving it the look of an Army trainer (PT-19), including color. The landing gear was moved to...

Zenoah G-26 works nice in 4*60

I just completed a 4*60 kit using a Zenoah G-26. I put the elevator and rudder servos in the rear and moved the firewall back 3/4" to keep the prop at the stock location. Weight came out 9 pounds and...

RE: Stability/inverted stall issues with CG Sukhoi ARF

Gremlin Castle,
The engine is a G-26, the weight is about 12 pounds, elevator expo is 30%. I didn't heed your advice and went ahead and moved the CG to 3/4" ahead of the recommended, and the expo...

RE: Stability/inverted stall issues with CG Sukhoi ARF

Should I just keep moving the CG forward to lessen this condition. Already I am having to "push" more than I like when inverted. However, when I pull straight up there is no indication the CG is off...

Butterfly position on G-26 must be correct!

The used G-26 I purchased wouldn't run except almost wide open. As the throttle would close it leaned out and died. I searched on RCU and found a thread that said the butterfly rotation must be in...

RE: need tuning help!!!

You should be able to run an 18-8 on a 31 cc engine. The Zenoah G-26 uses a 16-8 to 18-8 per the manual.

You are making things more clear for me now. I didn't fully understand before that the ether was the only "spark" even after the motor is fully warmed up. I thought as the engine warmed...

RE: Replacement for Ether?

Motorboy,
What is the autoignition temp for Coleman Fuel/white gas? The Coleman MSDS does not state this. I suspect it is like petroleum ether/naphtha/VM&P, but not sure.
