Hi Everybody!

Two years ago I bought in France an MVVS .49 with mini pipe part number 3248, then engine comes with a number "6" glow plug, I'm using a Master Airscrew 11x6 propeller. Well, the problem is that the engine is blowing (burning) the glow plugs and I feel that the engine is overheated. The elbow is attached to the side of the engine then, the rubber hose is connected to the tip of the elbow then connected to tuned silencer as far as I could. Some people told me that the the problem is that the silencer is too close to the elbow, that I have to enlarge the elbow about twice in long of the rubber hose, then attach the rubber hose and try to tune the silencer with a tach.

The engine is attached to the airplane in inverted position, my airplane is an Tower Voyayer ARF from tower hobbies, so I can't change the fuel tank position or something else, I was using an OS .46FX engine in this airplane and it was working fine, but the airplane was not fast as I wanted, so I decided to use my MVVS in this model. Attached to this, you'll find a picture of it where you can see how is it installed.

I think this is an incredible engine so powerfull and I don't want to damage it. In my country is not common to use MVVS engines, all the people use OS or Thunder Tiger, so nobody knows what's happening.

I appreciate any clue that you could give me in order to avoid overheat of the engine and and blowing glow plugs (on sunday I blew 5!)

Thanks in advanced,

Ricardo
