Quick Engine Question
 
Hey all,

Can I buy a needle valve assembly to go on the carb of [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFMD5&P=0]this engine[/link] ? Or like a aftermarket carb with needle on it to go on that engine?

Thanks and happy flying,
IBrakeForNobody

Save yourself five bucks and buy all metal Tower hobbies needle valve assemble. I put one on old Super Tigre just to get my fingers out of the way of prop, it worked like a charm. I just richened up the old needle valve two turns. No more stitches in my knuckles. Jim

get the all metal one and keep it away from the prop. I have broken 2 plastic ones already that are plastic

Okay...new thing :D...is [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJA86&P=0]this[/link] a good engine...my flight instructor said that TH engines are basically old OS engines with a different enmblum...or is [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKF97&P=0]this one[/link] better? I don't think the ole avistar is worty of a OS...rather put that money to a new engine.

Yes..The TT is an excellent engine. but it is only MY opinion. I have owned two, and have never had a problem with either. But then again, I have never had a problem with OS either.

Buy the tt46 pro = good all around engine with an angled front needle for a reasonable price.

Engine ordered. I hope I made the right decision...I ordered the TT Pro. 46 BB ABC.

RE: Quick Engine Question
 
I said engine ordered...apparently it will take a month to get one! So thats off the list...okay...now its between these two...which one? My instructor said that Tower Hobbies engines are old OS engines...

I'm confused, Tower shows the TT .46 Pro in stock. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKF97&P=0
Why will it take a month to get one?
