Any up-dates?
Is the 1.60 still running?
Any performance gain/loss?
Any videos in the air?
From what I have read here the( and comparing it to my 1.60FX on glow ) the gasoline conversion seems to make less rpm then a glow version.
Mine on 10% glow fuel was turning a APC 18 X 6W @ 9,250 on the ground.
But your gasoline conversion turning a JFX 18 X 8 at your rpm numbers that is a very respectable.
I have done a ton of testing with the CRRC Pro GF26I gasoline engine.
I turn the same APC 18 X 6W from above @ 8050rpm and a Xoar 18 X 8 ( which is the same brand as the JFX that you used ) @ 7400 rpm.
You turned the JFX 18 X 8W ( Wide ) @ 8040 with a tuned pipe.
I turn the Xoar 18 X 8 @ 7400 with the CRRC pitts mufler.
So, you used a wide blade prop, but also a pipe.
We are talking roughly 600 -650rpm differance.
The CRRC is designed for gasoline from the start and can be bought for under $200.00
Is the coversion worth taking a $275.00 OS 1.60FX adding $$$ to do the conversion to get 650 rpm more? + what will the longevity be?
Please don't take this wrong, just wondering if all the conversion is worth it as far as $ for $ goes.
You have done a very good test and seems that you have a good running engine.
I know that CRRC has a new 26cc in the prototype stages and it seems to be a real screamer.
We'll have to see how it does after testing.
They are turning a Xoar 18 X 6 @ just over 8300 rpm.
It' not much of a video though.
