ORIGINAL: joco1

my main worry is getting the engine back on straight is it going to be easy on this plane or will it be alot of work i took the engine off the mount so i could get to the two bolts holding the carb adjustment screw on the back

all the fins were pretty much bent or torn so i figured i will need a new head so every where i looked all the parts are on backorder or out of stock

so i decided to just order the engine new again and get the replacement parts when they come in and have a spare engine would you go back with the same engine or i was thinking about the 46
The engine doesn't mount "straight". It mounts at a slight angle. Just use the existing scores from when the engine was perviously mounted.

Some broken vanes are not going to affect the engine's performance very much if at all.

Try putting it back in and running it after you clean it up THROUGHLY... At worst spray fuel through it to clean out any debris, but be sure any dirt of foreign particles are completely removed.

Once you get to the point that the training gear are all off, the included engine does a good job.


Re: Replacement.

After crashing a PTS, I found that I could order a new ARF version for just over the cost of the parts.

Consider ordering one of these. It will be much easier to deal with as the instructions will guide you through what you need to do.

Once you have it together, take it to someone ( preferably an instructor ) who can review your work and check trims, linkages, incidence, etc.

You're probably talking about an aluminum or magnesium casting. This would take a MIG or TIG (can't remember which) welder with a fine touch to repair. Cheaper and better to replace the part in the long run.
If you can provide the actual part numbers of the broken parts it would be easier to respond accurately.

Nothing really repairable there, just replace damaged pieces. There is a reason why these are out of stock. LOTS of them are getting broken.
