RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

My SBach bit the dust last weekend.

The Fuselage and landing gear are the only things hurt but I doubt if I will spend the money to buy an replacement fuselage anytime soon.


I have a...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

pulsar110,

My PTE36 was tough to hand start at first.
I used a regular 12volt electric starter the first few starts.
After half dozen flights the compression improved and hand starting got a...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

MattK,

I won a MACS 4745 header in an auction. It is the 2.25" rise version.
If I can get it to fit the PTE36 I will consider running the engine on a tuned pipe.
I am still looking for...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

I have a VENUS 2 with a DLE20 that is getting broken in.

My plan was to put the 20cc quiet pipe on it.

The pipe is MACS 1090 and is actually for .80 to 1.20 glow so I doubt if it would be...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

So far I have about an hour and a half on the PTE36.

Compression is getting better and hand starting is easier.

Idle, throttle response and power are all great.

The engine seems to be...

It sounds like you got a good one this time.

I did not clean up the reed box but I think I will go back and do that.

My first couple of tanks were on airplane fuel (gas) with...

Based on my experience, you may want to locktite the choke plate screw and check the other engine screws to be sure all is tight.

Mine barely has enough compression to pop when you...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

I flew my SBach with the PTE36 today.

It started easily and ran great.

It seemed happy with the Xoar 19X8 but I kept it rich and did not push it too much.

I think it already turns the...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

gunny11,

Outside diameter is the same.

The walls of the stainless steel tubes are thinner than the stock tubes.

The stainless steel muffler looks like it will be tough.

The habit of running engines dry came from having to replace bearings in the glow engines.

You are probably right that idling the gas engine dry is not accomplishing anything other than maybe...

RE: Has anyone tried the new PTE36R ?

I have a PTE36 on the way. I have a XOAR 19X8 prop on hand and plan to use it for break in.
I hope to be able to unbolt the DLE30 from my SBach and bolt the PTE36 in its place.
Is there any...

I gave up on it.

I want nothing more to do with it.

I spent hours working on it plus the postage, waiting and aggrivation.


I saw that the new model went to an external regulator.

RE: Funtana X100

Move the battery and I am tail heavy.

The servos are on the heavy side which is part of it but the plane is just tail heavy even with normal servos.

Right now I am running a Saito 150 with a 17X6.

It needs that weight engine and the battery against the firewall to balance.

All are great engines.

I was surprised that I could not find the piston ring for that...
