RE: OS Max 46FXi

When trying to prime the engine, do you have the throttle fully open? If not, it won't pull fuel when you block the carb or exhaust outlet & hand flip the prop.

Other than that it sounds ok to...

RE: Props: Master Air Screw VRS APC etc.

Generalities are -- generalities.

You just can't pick a specific manufacturer's props & say with certainty--"they are the best", or "they are the most efficient". It just isn't true, and...

RE: Nexstar Select wing tip extensions

It is a dead-simple mod that can be done by bending the rod & trimming out the lower web portion of the plastic joint-fitting, or by making a hardwood center-section spar & balsa wedges -- no big...

RE: os la 40, what prop?

A reasonable selection of props for a "trainer" & the 40LA would likely include 10-5, 10-6, 10-7, 11-4, & 11-5. However, the question "what prop?", immediately raises the question "what plane"?

RE: Tower Hobbies .46 BB abc or O.S. 46 AX

Tower 46 or AX? Not even close, despite the price difference. Get the OS, or as already mentioned in several comments, get a TT 46 Pro.

My Tower 46 is one of my least favorite engines -- it is...

RE: Another Prop Question, OS .50SX

Were the props all the same brand, material & configuration? If not, while interesting, your test data is not truly representative of prop/engine performance.

RE: Chatham Contest August 19th

I've been away from the modelling sites for quite a while -- wow -- things have really changed -- NOT.

RE: 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke engine size selection help !!

Many manufacturers wildly inflate their HP numbers -- OS being particulary guilty.

The 70 4-S will be close to the 46 AX 2-S, but maybe a bit weaker. A 91 4-s is certainly going to outperform...

RE: OS40 problem

Sounds like a fuel pickup prob in the tank.

Check your internal tank fittings -- vent & pickup.

The vent tube should extend to the top of the tank & the fuel pickup obviously has the...

RE: how important is that baffle

It very much depends on what brand & size engine you are using, plus what RPM you are pulling.

Some engines need the help from a baffle, while others don't care much.

For example, a TT 46...
