RE: Picco P-zero 0.8cc
CP,
Thanks for the additional input. I'll get me a few 4.2 X 4 APCs and play around with the idea. Please confrim that all this discussion is about open exhaust? Also, what's the oil type and content in combat/speed fuel?
I have the Picco, a GZ that I re-worked over ten years ago,(never ran it) and the Picco/Brodak hybrid. No KBs though. But with the Cox engine, isn't the ball socket conrod the serious weak point? Castor helps but 28K? Geez, how many flights before you need to tighten the socket in the pin?
About head buttons wearing out. I wonder if they would last longer if they were anodized? Even colour anodizing is far harder than stock and the pores hold oil that would surely help.
Oh,yes,the GZ has a newly installed button to take a turbo. Any recos on the brand and heat range? On 25% nitro?
