Default RE: cv 12 mounted on lmh 117

Hey folks,

Had some flights with my lmh 100+ powered by Force .12 car engine last weekend.
it was flying OK with good hovering characteristic. however, noticed an off-center flywheel and engine tends to overheat and losing power after some time.

i think i am going to take out the engine and take this opportunity to try on a car OS .10 engine. Very keen to know if it can power the heli good and if there is more lift due to the (not sure) reduced weight of a smaller engine.



will update when fixed.


Peter, any news on ur side?


Fly safe...
