RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

WHat have you done to try to figure this out on your own or with other club members who run gas model engines?

Is this your first gas model engine?

Are you running with the cowl on or off?...

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

Glad to hear you checked and set it. It should behave much better @ 27-28 degrees.

Very good point! Tower/OS needs to rethink the parts pricing....but they won't.

Matt, You are at a slightly different elevation, running a different prop and tuned pipe. Your needle settings will be different than running the stock muffler. If for some reason your tuned pipe...

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

I wonder if you tried to start it backwards would it run correctly?

What is the ignition timing set at on this engine? Is the pickup location adjustable?

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

Nothing wrong with APC prop. Some may be slower to spool up than carbon or wood but they have very good airfoils and many times far superior performance over wood.

They do need to correct the...

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

Greg,

OS is not one of his sponsors, 3DHS, DA and Futaba yes. I don't think he's exaggerating about performance. He did say he had only two flights on it and it was obviously running well.

What muffler failure?

Boy that video shows how quiet the stock OS 33 muffler is! Nice!!! Gobs of power too. Death to the DLE 30. Probably a DLE 35 in works as we type.:D Right Jody.

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

I see you used to have a SAP180 mounted there. Let us know the all up weight of the electric system and how many flights you get on the batteries before you notice a reduction in performance.

Did you ask them to fix it or give you your money back?

RE: OS GT33 33cc gasser

Search You Tube for the Mintor 33. A guy from NY posted a You Tube video of his son flying last week. Engine ran perfect, no pipes.
