Default RE: 15cc Gas RCGF engine information thread


ORIGINAL: gasrchobbyengines

Hi RCplanman, here is a picture of my Katana .46 profile I built up for the 15cc gas engine. It shows the way I set up the choke linkage.
I know it looks cheesy, but it works GREAT!!

So until the newly designed one is finished this one will do. THANKS AND HAPPY FLYING!!!!
Hey Gasrc-
I set up pretty much all of my planes from the 15's to the 400's with a very similar choke setup. Simple, straightforward and it works well.

Here is a tip to make it look "professional"
Get a ball joint and remove the brass ball insert from it (it wil just flick out) - use the resulting bit of plastic as a "knob" on the end of the rod - voila - a professional looking finish and probably quicker than it took you to bend the handle.

I keep a stock of 2-56 threaded rod and cheap ball joints for exactly that purpose.
