Hello MTK
I have read several of your post on pattern flying and gas engines.
A year ago I picked up a Moki 180 gas engine. A couple of months ago I was able to picked up a AeroSlave Symphony and ever since I have been thinking about trying to put them together.
Can you PM me about your experience with the Moki and pattern plane when you get time? I am also looking for a wrap around header for this engine.
Thank you.
Hi CM,
I have no experience with the MOKI 180 gasoline engine. Your best bet would be Pe Reievers. Look him up in RCU. Looking at the engine specs it should work well. I hear it is similarly ported to the glow version.
I had the Moki 180 glow about 15 years ago. It was built like a brick outhouse and was fairly powerful as I recall. Eventually I put it into a racing application with a full Macs pipe and it worked well there turning a 16x16 or 16x14 apc.
I had it soft mounted and it was far quieter than any of the other 1.8 - 2.2 cuin engines being run in the racing event, but with no loss in power.
