YS 115S crank replace
Should I use a Warbird Special crankshaft in a standard 115-S? Will that WS crank work with the stock S piston and rod?
|
It would be best to direct that question to Richard Verano at YS parts and service. There are two possible differences, the crank seal ring and the counterbalance. |
Thx Speed, Ill give him a ring.

Dan,
Flying standard 115s, 3 times had digital aileron servos fail on me, in-flight during race heats, on two different Fw 190D-9 Warbird racers. I was experiencing too much vibration out toward the tips of the wings. Since Richard installed the counter-balanced crankshafts into my three 115s, I have not had the same issues. It is not cheap to have them replaced; but for me, the cost beats not being comfortable to use the engine without risking the entire airframe due to resulting structural or equipment failures -- especially in competition.

Hey Thanks Ollie, did you use the standard 115s piston if I may ask? Thanks! Im getting good results with the 14x12N you suggested.

Most are using the warbird special piston. It lowers the compression a bit, but the end result is a smoother running motor that can take a bit more nitro if needed. Shoot for a 9500-10500 RPM range on fuel prop combinations.

Thank you there Jimmy!
