Default RE: First 4-stroke engine. Help?


ORIGINAL: hiTmanhiT

Hello!
Just got my first four stroke engine. A ASP .91. I am going to use it in my U-can-do 46.
I have never set up a four-stroke before, only two-strokes. So I was wondering if someone could help me out a little bit here, since the manual didn't help me out much(Chinese quality!).

Do you have any guides or something? Or maybe you could explain a little bit for me?

Thank you very much,

Morten

just like you I purchased my first ever 4st in october, after 35 years of glow 2st it was time to try one out. mine is the Saito fa115 and after 4 runs it started making a screaming noise so it got sent back to Horizon, they replaced the engine with a NIB and it has worked great. the first thing I noticed was the smooth power delivery and the saito weighed 7 oz. less than my os1.20
this was a significant weight loss and the plane flew better than ever. negative side of all this is the goo, I have had enough, no more glow , from now on its gas or lipo.
break it in slow and use your tach to set needle and it should run like a champ.
