Default RE: SPE 40cc


ORIGINAL: pianori

I am getting both a 42cc and a 50cc from China next week in. I will test both engines in an attempt to see if I can make them better, or to see how reliable they are. I will be checking for vibrations, crank shaft balancing, check low rpm & high, midrange transition, the ignition system, the carburetor, muffler quality, casting quality, parts and support available etc. I will be doing a full evaluation. Once I figure all the bugs out and ways to improve it there is a chance that I might import them and rep them. I am working on this now as we speak.

Any updates on the engine testing??

Still haven't started mine yet as I am waiting for props and my Futaba servos. Will try and start the engine when I get the props just to be sure it runs

Thought about the test bench thing but haven't got the test bench. Besides starting it in the plane (without wings and other servos) will give me an idea how much vibration is going on and if there are any rattles in the fuse. Sounds good to me anyway
