I run mine inside my fuz. I have two wires and a 10mm carbon rod sharing the fuz with it, and also chrome film on the bottom too, and havent had a problem at my current field.

Flew my one today. wasnt getting to lairy to low as im still not confident of the engine. but what i did try up high all i can say is THE NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*3Der*

Nice one. Its so flawless isnt it!

Have finally given in and ordered one . Now it decision time which engine. I was just looking for some views on either a Saito 180 or YS 140. Am hopefully going to the states in next month or so and was going to pick up a few engines on the cheap. So what does everyone reckon. Have even thought about going electric. But dont know much about the larger electric brushless setups would like opinions on that too. I have only noticed one person (in this thread) who has done this though.

Do you fly mode 1 Luke? If so then you can fly my Synergy. Make you do a sex pi$$ guarunteed. Now thats flawless

Synergy luvva

mattyd:
i think u shud go for the YS 140L it isnt too dear but is adoquate for the plane,altho u can go for the YS 160 DZ luke 3d returns will have opinions on that n probably angus[:@]
i have th YS 140 L if u get the YS get a Hatori pipe i have the 698


Adam

Thanks for the reply Adam, I was leaning that way anyway. I just want to decide on the engine before I start the build next week. Have found a shop in states that will do it for under £300 so its quite good value. With the Hatori pipe did anyone recess it into th fuse bottom? Which engine mount did you use?

Matty,

Angus B has some 140Dzs for sale I believe, might be worth Pm' ing him, as he's predominantly F3Yawn ing with his Synergy...

Other than that check out www.ysperformance.com
My 140FZ-S was $424 plus $25 shipping from there..

Or you could see what www.islandhobbies.co.uk has in stock if you dont want the hassle of customs....

Steve

Yawn, yea F3A is real boring. Thats why i got rid of the Capiche (25 flights of 3D and I was ready to top myself) and kept the Synergy. Anyway, yea, I do have two 140DZ for sale. One I used in Eurochamps in Portugal and the other one is virtually brand new. Both in dam good condition. One from Euros has just had new con rod fitted along with new rear bearing and is mega strong engine (pulls almost same rpm as 160 on the ground). Total bargain at £220 + postage.

Any questions dont hestitate to ask.

Angus

Yep mattyd i recessed my pipe into the fuz bottom, you can see how i did it in this picture. Its a lot of work but worth it.

As far as engines go if you are going i/c i'd definitely go the YS route. If you can afford the extra cost and 30% fuel go for the 160dz.

Otherwise angus' 140Dz are going pretty cheap!

Also put a hatori pipe on the ys. Weston do an in cowl unit which is also very nice if you dont want to go pipe tunnel. Ask the baron for more info.

and although the cheap gator softn safe mount works okay the pricey Hyde ari is well worth the extra dosh.

I agree with Luke. The mans talking sense.

If it were me I would recommend a 140DZ minimum. Capiche with 160 went really well so that is the obvious choice to go for if you want to spend the extra money.

If you dont want a dingo then I have got a 140L I would be willing to sell you, but I would recommend more power than that.

Angus

Here are some vids of mine flying on a weak 140L just to give you an idea. Its still a wicked plane with the 140L and very capable, but may leave you wanting a little more power once you start to get to grips with it.

Nice flying Luke. I have decided on a DZ its just a case of the money. I am currently waiting for some insurance claims to pay out then I will purchase. Probably in couple of weeks. If Angus still has one left by then I will have one off him PM sent.

nice choice

Still waiting for kit to arrive [&o][&o] Cant wait to get started. Have weeks and weeks of spare time to fill.

ok i went flying yestaday with the capiche,well wot can i say its thee best.the last time i had flown my capiche was a 2minute go at southern model airshow.i flew it today n well... i had heads turning.i flew my capiche like no other time before.thwe engine was working a treat,i took it up high did sum nice blenders flat spins n sum good rolling harrier circles(first time ever).i also did sum harier tail touches,i even did sum torque-rolling about 3 meters off the deck[X(].next time i fly it i promise i will get a video[:@]



Adam

Sounds like fun Adam!

Car replacement jumps up and bites me... 2 weeks left....

Try out a V70 and V50 at the weekend, part of test involves trying to get a capiche 140 in it!!!

If I can get away with it, i'll go for the smaller V50, as some mad fool has managed to shoehorn a T5 engine into it! easier for the wife to park too V70 feels tanklike

All sealed... collected cowl..... cowl still partly matt behind cheeks....sprayer oops.......cowl now to be ready at end of this week......aim for maiden 10 April , was gonna let the boy play with it at RCMF do on 16/17... but I have to work now [:@][:@][:@]

Berk,

You should of posted your cowl up to me and id of sprayed it for you. Seems like you've been waiting ages man.

Angus

Yeah, Ta Angus..might have been a better idea.. there's occasional black bits trapped in the 2 pack lacquer too from my brief inspection of it... I guess i can hook em out with a scalpel and tcut back after a few weeks... certainly not the pro job I was expecting....

Regards,

Steve

You'll know for next time eh buddy

Angus

ps Bought myself a Vision and ZDZ 50. It was £550 and has only had 12 flights and comes with everything apart from servos. BARGAIN! Any of Clan Capiche had any experience of this model or motor? Cheers.

Well half turned up today will get started ASAP

oi,oi,oi,i have fitted me hatori pipe on to me 140 so im gonna see how it goes 2moro lter 2nite i will see if i can get a picture


Adam

angus sell it (fast!) [&o]

Heres my pipe install.... sorry for the fuzzy pics

How did it go with the Pipe, Adam?

I'm still waiting on the Cowl, so it's given me chance to do several 'check everything' evenings.....


Wing bags done, even for the tail plane

Perhaps a post on chavscum would be more appropriate
