RE: How do I remove con-rod from crank shaft on my Saito 125??

The difference between a poor oil and a good oil often only becomes apparent under exceptional circumstances.

Good oil is like insurance if you're lucky, you don't need it. If you're not...

RE: How do I remove con-rod from crank shaft on my Saito 125??

Gosh Ed, you must have pretty lousy consumer protection laws over there.

Here, unless the dismantling/re-assembly of the engine had clearly caused damage, a supplier couldn't duck their...

RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System

Mike, it sounds like a great product but can you tell is whether it's had more testing than the Optic 6 did before it was released?

Almost all the major manufacturers have had serious problems...

RE: Does anyone remember Aero Pack International's "G-pack" foam?

I remember "G Pad" foam that was touted as the best thing since sliced bread for protecting your radio gear.

Exactly the same stuff is now used to make ground-pads for camping. It's a...

RE: Saito 115 cam lubrication

It's not quite as simple as that Dar (and I think you know that :-))

The lubrication system in an auto-engine is far more sophisticated than simply throwing some oil in with the fuel, as is the...

Long-EZ 46 and Bobcat 52???

Since I've been fitting pulsejets to the Long-EZ .46 and the .50-sized Bobcats, lots of people have been asking me where they can buy these ARFs in the USA but NitroPlanes seems to be out of stock.

RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Is the factory that makes the bobcats even still in business?

Since I started making pulsejets for these ARFs (and the Long-EZ), all supply of them seems to have dried up so now I'm looking for...

RE: What prop to use on a S.T. G90 ?

A 14x6 will give you good vertical and quick acceleration on take-off but a 13x8 will give you a *slightly* higher top-speed.

It's also worth trying a MAS 13x6 Scimitar, these have worked *very*...

RE: why are OS Type F glow plugs so expensive?

I have an HP .21VT and it's a real darling of an engine.

Quieter than any of the electrics at our field but not what you'd call "powerful". It'll swing a 9x6 at around 9,500rpm which isn't too...

RE: servo pulling power

You confuse force with torque.

The torque is measured in oz-inches so a typical hi-torque servo might have (say) 160 oz/in of torque. 160oz is 10lbs but that's the force the servo exerts at a...

RE: Tapered-Bore Engine Break-in - Upgraded

Remember that although engineers design and build engines, it's probably *not* an engineer that writes the manual.

This means that even companies such as OS are open to mistakes. It's much...

RE: Anybody have a Thunder Tiger .61?

Do you want a GP61 prop driver. I've got one I'm not using. PM me with your address and I'll pop it in the mail if you like.

RE: why are OS Type F glow plugs so expensive?

I've used the Fox Miracle plug and found it to be a false economy. An OS-F (and in 2-strokes an OS#8) will last quite literally for years of flying. The Fox plugs only lasted about six months...

RE: How hot does 4 stroke exhaust get?

Actually, many of the low-temp aluminum brazing alloys do lose a *lot* of strength at temps as low as 500deg F.

But, often just as important is the fact that many of these brazing alloys have a...

RE: Is Cool Power cool fuel?

Morgans make great claims for their anti-corrosion additives but the reality is that PAG and ester-based synthetics don't provide good protection against rust.

Anyone using a pure synthetic is...
